Legal Question in Family Law in California

Will I need to pay alimony ?

My wife and I have been separated for 15 years. The cause of the separation was finding that she had an affair that resulted in the birth of my son. He is my legal child. He is 19 years old now. We still own a house together and I have provided half or more of the house payment plus generous child support for that period of time, non of which was court ordered, I just felt it my obligation and I wanted my son even though not biologically mine, to have a good life. In addition, her boyfriend has lived in the house as her partner and lover for the last 15 years and they in fact have another son together who lives in the house. Her boyfriend also provides additional support to the house. I also have lived in the house much of the 15 years, in a spare room, due to economics. My son has just finished community college and will be off to a 4 year college this fall. I would like to get my divorce now, but she seems reluctant to sign an uncontested agreement. She won't say but I believe she wants to get alimony. My problem is that I have never changed address and a judge may look at it as a normal situation and force me to pay alimony. So my question for you is this. In your opinion, would a judge order me to pay alimony? Thank you!
