After working/supporting my husband thru school and Chiropractic college. He's been practicing for 10 mths. under another Dr. at health club. Married 10 years. Getting a divorce. No assets to divide. Probably 10 thousand in credit card debts. Around 80 thousand in school loans. He doesn't want to pay any alimony. I'm on temp. disability, have no income, living at my fathers. Currently filing in Butte Co. Need to know how much/long of alimony I should ask for. And any other benefits I can receive.

Spousal support is based on your need and his ability to pay. You may have an interest in his chiropractic practice. The student loans are his sole responsibility. With this limited general information you should have some idea what to discuss with an attorney.
