What if I were never legally married in California but have been told by the court to pay alimony?
If you were never legally married in California, the court would generally not have the authority to order you to pay alimony. Alimony is usually only awarded in divorce cases to provide financial support to a spouse after the end of the marriage. If you have been wrongly ordered to pay alimony, you should consult with a family law attorney to seek judicial review and potentially have the order overturned.

Is there alimony for unmarried co-inhabitant couples in Florida?
Alimony is for spouses so if you weren't married (and Florida does not recognize common law marriage) then you're not a spouse and therefore do not qualify for alimony. You could *possibly* sue for palimony (it's like alimony, but with unmarried couples who cohabited instead of spouses), but it's rarely awarded in any state.

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.
