It's possible, yes.
That's up to the judge in the divorce case. If your husband's income is significantly higher than yours, you'll probably get alimony. If your income is higher, you probably won't (and may even have to pay 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.
Women became more likely to win custody of children after a divorce
Divorce in a no fault state like Texas is difficult, especially for women. From my own experience, the fact that I stayed home with kids did not factor into the support I received after the divorce. Better to become economically independent and stay that way.
We don't know. How much does your spouse want? How much money do you make? Sometimes women don't ask for alimony when they file for divorce. If you file for divorce you might not have to pay anything. If you make big money you'll pay big bucks. If you have a low paying job you can expect to pay less than half of your salary.
Alimony or spousal support is payments that are awarded by the court during divorce proceedings that instructs one spouse to make monthly or a lump sum payment to the other spouse. Laws pertaining to alimony have changed significantly during the past few decades. In the past, women were stay-at-home moms and needed alimony to avoid any adverse change in their financial circumstances due to a divorce. Today, due to the fact that women have successful careers, alimony is very seldom awarded during divorce proceedings. In most cases, alimony is intended to provide monetary compensation to the recipient for their unpaid contributions during the marriage, and to help them to gain financial independence. Alimony laws vary in each state. There are many factors which a court considers before granting alimony. One factor is the duration of the marriage, and whether the ex spouse has the mental and physical ability to earn a living wage. Another important consideration is the spouse's age, and whether or not, they have the marketable skills to earn a living. Usually, a marriage must last a minimum of 10 years before spousal support is granted. There are several types of spousal support which is awarded on the basis of an individual personal financial situation during the marriage. Pendente alimony is temporary spousal support that is awarded until the divorce is finalized. Rehabilitative alimony is temporary spousal support designed to enable a spouse to obtain the education and job training to become sufficiently self-supporting. Permanent alimony is paid until the recipient of the alimony payments dies or remarries. Usually, permanent alimony payments are awarded to a spouse whose marriage has lasted for a very long duration. If the spouse is elderly and suffering from an illness or disability, which prevents them from being gainfully employed, they will receive permanent alimony. According to the laws of the Uniform Marriage and Divorce Act, a spouse who has the ability to earn a living will not receive any alimony support. If you are considering a divorce and need spousal support to help you make the transition to becoming financially independent, then you should seek the counsel of a lawyer who specialize in family laws pertaining to divorce and alimony.

There was a time when women lacked a great deal of legal rights. They included the right to vote, no equal pay, not being allowed to attend certain schools, and not getting custody rights to their children after a divorce.
The present day term for alimony is spousal support. This can be awarded to either spouse in a divorce proceeding depending on need, length of the marriage, the role of the parties in the marriage and ability to pay. If both parties are self sufficient alimony is not awarded. It may be awarded temporarily while one gets the necessary training or education to become self-sufficient.The original awards for alimony were granted under early English Common Law when women were not allowed to work and were kept in a state of dependency by their husband's and the law. The courts recognized that they had to allow women to separate from their husbands in serious cases of abuse or abandonment. Although divorce was rarely allowed, alimony was awarded because the wife had no way to support herself and her children. Men were forced to support the wives they had abused or abandoned. A married women (most women) had no way to earn a living and all her property was under the control of her husband. She owned nothing and had no legal existence outside the marriage.As time progressed, alimony was a means to equalize financial resources between the parties since traditionally a woman supported her husband's education and career and could in no way match the earning power he developed with her help and support.Alimony is not something you can simply apply for. In fact, most marriages that end in divorce do not involve alimony at all. You need to consult with an attorney who can review your situation and explain your options under your state laws. The decision will eventually be up to a judge.
