Maybe. If a legal separation or divorce decree was not granted by the court then the couple is still married. Spousal maintenance (alimony) and other issues cannot be addressed until a valid dissolution of marriage petition is filed in the appropriate state court in the county where the filing spouse resides.

If you had no children during marriage is she entitled to alimony?
Not being an attorney, this answer will be from a layman's view, until improved by someone more knowledgable. Generally, the law[s] of the state where you live determine the answer to this question. However, I think there is a difference [at least in some states] between alimony, and child support. Child support IS for children, but alimony is support for a spouse, and under some state laws can be required to be paid by either spouse, depending on the couple's financial circumstances.

No, unless it is a matter of domestic violence and then the abused spouse can get a court order banning the abuser from the home until the issue has been settled. In most cases, married couples even when the residence is in the name of only one spouse are presumed to be equally entitled to the use of the property. Which is one of the reasons for having to file a dissolution of marriage petition when a couple decides to end their relationship.
If you marry someone then divorce them do you get their job allowances for like the rest of your life?
Alimony can be awarded permanently in certain situations. For example, a couple who has been married for more than 15 years and where one party is entirely dependent upon the other may be a case for permanent alimony payments. Alimony is not, however, guaranteed by any law and is entirely dependent on the situation and divorce proceedings. More commonly in divorce, no alimony is awarded at all, let alone a permanent alimony.

No, persons who are unlawfully present in the U.S. do not qualify for traditional legal status, such as marriage and divorce. If said persons were married within the U.S. the marriage would not be considered valid in the legal sense and therefore a petition for the dissolution of the union would not be necessary. This does not apply when an undocumented foreign national marries a U.S. citizen.
