Can i get alimony from my husband.we lived only 6months together but i have been married from 3 years

As a general rule of thumb you are able to get spousal support for half the length of a marriage (if the marriage lasted for less than 10 years). So yes, you can get spousal support. The question is for how long? If your divorce documents state that the date of separation was 2.5 years ago, then you would only be deemed married for the purposes of community property for 6 months, which would indicate support payments for about 3 months. If, however, the Court found you had been married for three years, then arguably you'd be eligible for 18 months of spousal support.
