What exactly is alimony and is it only men who have to pay it?
Spousal support (also know as alimony) represents regular payments made from one spouse to the other during a separation or after a divorce. The purpose of spousal support is to recognize the recipient spouse's contribution to the marriage and to assist that spouse to achieve financial independence where possible. Alimony can be made from man to woman or woman to man depending on the nature of the marriage. Regardless of circumstances, even when requested, for a man to be awarded spousal support. A good example was Gordon Clark, the husband of Los Angeles Prosecuting Attorney, Marcia Clark. She earned $180,000 a year, working 100+ hours a week, while he was a stay at home dad. Not only did he not get Alimony, but he was ordered to pay her child support, because she was given custody due to him being a poor example of a father. I was able to obtain a copy of the divorce file one hour before she was motioned to t\court to seal it.

Alimony Laws Pertaining to Divorce?
Alimony, also known as spousal support, is a payment made by one spouse to the other after a divorce to help maintain the receiving spouse's standard of living. Alimony laws vary by state and may consider factors such as the length of the marriage, each spouse's financial situation, and the contributions each spouse made to the marriage. The goal of alimony is to ensure that both spouses can move forward post-divorce in a fair and equitable manner.

Child support, probably. Alimony, almost certainly not. Check with a lawyer or a legal website in your state for details, which can vary.
Can a woman that was abandoned by husband and never got child support nor spousal support sue for damages 30 years later when man comes into money?
Only to enforce an existing order.Another View: Although it would take a court order to accomplish it, he would probably be liable for paying back child support ONLY. Unless some kind of court order existed dissolving the marriage and awarding alimony there would be no legal requirement that she be paid back alimony.On the other hand, if they were never divorced and she is still legally married to him, she MIGHT be eligible to make some kind of claim, if not on his inheritance, at least on his assets. Strongly suggest that she consult with an attorney to explore her options.
