Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

alimony

I have been married for almost 3 years and I am 27 years old. My husband has commited adultry and has spoken to a lawyer about admitting to it to get the divorce quicker. He makes $3000 more a year than me and also gets money from the military every month. Is there any chance of me getting alimony?

Since it seems like you're already working and your salary is close to that of your husband's, alimony is likely inappropriate in this case.
