how can my soon to be ex ask for alomonie in ohio.she able to work but chosses not to?

Answer 1

She can ask; no law says the court will give her anything unless her lack of a job was caused by your marriage or the divorce.

Answer 2

If she has been a stay at home mom. She can ask for alimony and will probably get it. It will depend on her education, how long she was a stay at home money etc. It is not fair in most cases. Child support is one thing , but alimony is another. Now, if she worked and put you thur school and then she stayed home with the kids. She needs the change to get her degree. This no fault divorce is a crappy also. There is always a reason for divorce. And the one that is at fault should lose it all. If they are cheating or abusive they should have to pay and loose everything.

Answer 3

Unfortunately in most states, you are required to keep your ex at a financial standard that he/she is accustomed.
You should have made her work when you were together and then her money would offset the alimony amount.

The only thing that you can do not is hope that she gets married again. That's the easiest way to stop alimony.

Answer 4

she has the right according to the law to ask for spousal support if in the duration of the Marriage she was not working. if the marriage had not ended chances are she would not be working, therefore finding a job pending on how long she had been absent from the workforce would be much harder. That is how she would be eligible for spousal support.

Answer 5

If you have no children, there should be no excuse for her not to work. If you have young children, she may still need to stay home. If you have no children, but you never wanted her to work while you were married, shame on you. You set a precedent that the court will continue. They will allow her alimony for a period of time, maybe six months to a year, while she finds a job to support herself.

Unfortunately, the family court system still rules heavily in the favor of the woman. It shouldn't be this way, but it is.

Answer 6

get her full work history from ssi or the unemployment office then take it to the judge tell them how she has a history of not working and this is not something she should become accustom to out of your pockets then request her work history as proof and evidence you'll need her ss number,request what's called a statement the link is below this will show everywhere she has ever worked and how much her survivors will get if something were to happen then argue to the judge that she needs to work or she'll have nothing in her old age if she keeps getting free ridesand ask them to list every job she has ever had.........

Answer 7

I don't see how she can get alimony from you. Generally the former spouse gets alimony when he or she placed their life on hold to be a spouse. She or he then deserves to be kept at the same standard of living as they were prior to the divorce. Generally this happens when one spouse earns a lot of money and the other never worked.

Clearly, with your spelling, you don't earn that much. So I wouldn't worry about it.

Answer 8

If she was a stay at home mom during your marriage or you were able to provide a lifestyle that she didnt have to work, then she can ask for it. You will have to prove that she is able and educated enough to work
Good luck

Answer 9

Alimony should be a thing of the past. Woman can earn as much money as men. That's when we had a more religious society and roles were defined by the churchs. Woman takes care of house and child. Man brings home the bacon.

Answer 10

if she didn't work during the course of the marriage (to raise the kids, etc.) then she has a legal right to maintain her standard of living. Also, if you have kids you should consider that your alimone provides a home that offers some stability during a rough time.
