Re: rights for men
usually you have to be married more than 10 years in order to get alimony in TX. I don't know about SC.
Re: rights for men
Typically with a marriage that short, the husband would not be required to pay alimony unless there were very unusual, extreme circumstances to warrant it. However, he should still take steps to protect himself to give him the best chance of protecting himself.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
