There are at least two separate issues here.
First, by "spouse support" I'm guessing you mean "alimony". The answer is yes, this CAN happen. Whether or not it DOES happen in any particular case depends a significant amount on how good each party's lawyers are.
The other issue is the "because of abuse" part. That's ammunition for your lawyer (see above) to get you a better deal in the divorce.

* No, keeping a log or journal of an occasional disagreement on a spouse is not abuse, but it is strange behavior. Your partner may feel that you are abusive and is reading material and keeping the log or journal to prove to themselves and perhaps you that indeed you are verbally abusive (even if you are not.) It would be wise to communicate well with your spouse and get to the bottom of this problem. All the reading on verbal abuse and logs or journal entries will not fix anything that is wrong in the marriage. The only other possible reason for this behavior is if your spouse is a psychologist; psychiatrist or taking a psych course.
