In New York State, alimony, also known as spousal maintenance, may be awarded to a spouse during or after a divorce based on various factors. Generally, a spouse who can demonstrate a financial need and whose partner has the ability to pay may be entitled to alimony. Factors considered include the length of the marriage, the standard of living during the marriage, and the recipient's financial resources and earning capacity. Ultimately, the court evaluates each case individually to determine entitlement and the amount of support.

If you had no children during marriage is she entitled to alimony?

Not being an attorney, this answer will be from a layman's view, until improved by someone more knowledgable. Generally, the law[s] of the state where you live determine the answer to this question. However, I think there is a difference [at least in some states] between alimony, and child support. Child support IS for children, but alimony is support for a spouse, and under some state laws can be required to be paid by either spouse, depending on the couple's financial circumstances.
