Alimony can be granted in cases of adultery, but it depends on the laws of the specific jurisdiction and the circumstances of the marriage. In some states, adultery may be considered a factor in determining alimony, while in others, it may not affect the outcome. Generally, courts evaluate the financial needs of the receiving spouse and the ability of the paying spouse to support them, regardless of marital misconduct. Ultimately, the decision rests with the court based on the unique details of each case.

Some states allow you to receive temporary alimony while the case is pending in court, however, you cannot receive alimony after the annulment has been granted. This is because an annulment declares the marriage to be "void" and erases it as if it never existed under the law. Spousal support cannot be awarded if no valid marriage existed.
