Re: Do I qualify for alimony ?
In Oklahoma, support alimony is based on your need and his ability to pay. You were in a relatively short marriage. So, he may have to help you transition into the work force for a short time, but to be honest with you, he doesn't make enough to pay support alimony unless he has very few bills.
