At this time I am applying for diability, as well.
Due to the short duration of our marriage ,would I be able to get support if we divorced?

Re: Support for non working spouse
You would likely receive temporary support based upon your husband's income. Temporary support lasts to the case cames to trial or you settle. It could be up to a year or so. In addition, the court has discretion to set permanant support after triaal for whatever time it wants. The short length of your marriage, however, is certainly an important factor.
