If your ex is not working then I do not think you can get alimony...the whole point of alimony is for the "dominant" partner...as in the one that makes more money, to provide financial support for the other after a divorce, but if they are not making any money themselves then you cannot expect them to be able to support you if they can barely support themselves.
