In America you can't collect alimony unless you are divorced.

People don't get alimony anymore unless we're talking he's worth millions. Then a judge may side with you, but even then you have to prove that you can't live without his support and he is the one filing for the divorce.

Well I can only tell you about TEXAS....in Texas one must be married for a minimum of 10 years and prove they cannot support themselves --otherwise no ALIMONY...Alimony is extremely hard to qualify for in the state of Texas...because in theory everyone should be able to support themselves..and not depend upon another
