I would doubt that the courts will require alimony in this case, unless there were children involved. But you never know what a good lawyer can get you! I urge you to consult one that knows the laws in your state.
are you the man or woman?
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.
If a husband files for divorce he can specify that no alimony be paid. If a wife files, she can ask for alimony, but usually it's because she has no income or a very low amount of salary. The wife can ask for whatever amount she wants but the husband can file a paper showing that he can't afford that amount. The judge can decide how much it will be. Usually it's less than half of whatever the spouse earns. Many women don't ask for alimony. In most divorces women don't pay alimony to men. If you have a rich wife you could get it. If the woman (or man) receives alimony and gets married - the alimony stops. If the person who pays alimony gets married they still have to pay it.
my ex-husband and I were married 20 years. Can I draw from his VA disability?
No, as you will not be able to get divorced (due to the fact you're not married), and therefore will not pay (or be paid) alimony.
No, you cannot get alimony if you were never married. There is, however, something called palimony, but it is very difficultto get.
When the husband either dies, payment in alimony or has been married for him for at least 10 years, anything that might be an outcome of a divorce.
NO
I recently got married and found out it was because my husband wanted to get back at the woman he was with before me. Two days ago i found out that he is now up at her place staying there. We've only been married 5 months. I don't want to divorce him but if he decides he is going to live up there will i be able to get alimony payments
Typically, alimony is reserved for those who have married for about 10 years or more. However, you need to views the laws on alimony for your state. http://www.helpyourselfdivorce.com/alimony.html
There is no set duration of marriage required to receive alimony in Alabama. The court considers various factors, including the length of the marriage, the financial needs of both parties, and the ability to pay alimony, when determining alimony awards.
