Alimony is a most complicated legal issue. It is a fact based legal issue and determining answers about alimony depends on many factors in addition to "years of marriage." Your question did not provide any information about any factors related to the marriage you are asking about, if you are asking about a marriage at all. Thus, your question cannot be answered without more information. You can contact the state bar of New Mexico lawyer referral service; call the organization called Law Access New Mexico, go by the NM Legal Aid office or go to your local district court and find the Self Help or Self Represented Litigant facility and talk with someone in one of those organizations or facilities to develop your question more fully. Also, the old answers to family law questions are available for you to review here at Law Guru. I urge you to start here at Law Guru by reviewing old answers to alimony issues and see if you can clarify your issue and then contact a lawyer by using one of the methods set forth above and ask your more fully developed question about alimony.

Good Luck.
