My husband and I are seperated he move out after 29 year he makes more and exspect me to pay the bill without his help am I intitle to alimony and how much and what needs to be done to get his help.
Surprisingly and unfortunately, there is no set number of years or formula that guarantees you get alimony or dictates the amount. There are actually up to 15 factors the court would consider. I have included a link for you for informational purposes, but you should consult with an attorney to discuss further.
That being said, the longer the marriage and greater disparity in income, you would have a high change of receiving at least some amount of spousal support.
There is no set time for receiving alimony. Our statutes do designate factors for the court to consider in whether or not to award alimony, however it does not include a set time frame. I wish you the best!
Length of marriage is one factor only. More important is the earnings and reasonable expenses of each party. Consult an experienced family law attorney.
