Re: spouse support

Spousal support is not out of the question. It can be negotiated between the parties, or may be awarded by the court. The length of your marriage, your educational needs/desires, your contribution to the household, among other issues, will be considered in determining if, and how much, support you may receive.

The rule of thumb is one year of spousal support (alimony ) for every 3 years of marriage.

Good luck
