Re: Alimony

The length and amount of spousal support in a divorce case depends on the length of marriage, the standard of living of the parties before the filing of divorce, and the relative fault of the parties, if any. You need to present evidence to the court of your present situation, whether you have been able to support yourself in the past, and the standards of living that you had while you were married. It would also help if you could show that your husband has or had large financial resources, and frittered them away. Your attorney should be helpful in this regard.
