Depending on how long you were married and what state you live in - you can possibly garnish wages for spousal support. If they make more money than you and when you are seperated/divorced and the quality of life of which you are accustomed to will be diminished you can request spousal support. Though this is usually for a set period of time until you remarry or get back on your feet. Ask your lawyer for further details or even look it up on your states homepage - I know in CA you can look it up in the Family Court section of the state's page.
