It is one of the requests on a complaint for divorce. I was expecting to see alimony requests but did not see any. At what point is alimony discussed?

This is common, standard language at the end of a complaint for a "catch-all" term to be sure the party may be awarded anything else the judge decides to allow, even if it is not specifically stated. If you do not already have an attorney (which I must presume, since this question would appropriately have been directed to your own attorney), I strongly suggest that you immediately retain one. Your statement about expecting to see a request for alimony and the fact that you have already received a divorce complaint tells me that your 30 days for filing a response is running. Just because alimony was not set forth now does not mean that an amendment cannot be filed or there will not be a spousal support request at some point in your case. Get a local attorney and be sure you go over all these concerns with him/her and explain WHY you have such concern. Since you have not retained me and I do not have all the necessary facts, I cannot give you legal advice. The information provided is provided for general education purposes only. Best of luck to you!
