After a divorce how much alimony is paid to ex-wife and if either gets married again is he still obligated to pay and is it based on who earns more who is responsible 2 pay How does it work?

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.

If you or your spouse intends to file for divorce, you should speak with a divorce lawyer that practices in your area right away.

Can a woman ask for divorce because he does not pray and is not a practising muslim he only fasts?

A woman, under Islamic Law, can ask for a divorce for any reason she wants. In the time of Muhammad, a woman came to him and said that she wanted to divorce her husband because she gets unhappy every time she looks at him. She said she just does not love him. The Prophet (peace be upon him) told her she could go ahead and divorce him. If a man is not praying; intentionally and denying this Islam pillar on purpose; then the marriage should be dissolved because he has essentially left Islam and is expelled from Islam faith by Islam rules.
