It's likely that you have not been married long enough to warrant alimony.

If neither of you has a job, then how is he supposed to pay you alimony? What standard of living are you supposed to be trying to maintain? (1/2 of $0 a month seems like $0 to me)

Hello;
Well I'm still not sure what all this means as far as spousal support. We've been married eight years, if you count living together, it's been eleven. When I met my husband I was the Beverage Manager at the Holiday Inn in Kenosha, WI. We lost our jobs because of turning it into a Holiday Inn Express. I was a single mom living in a home my parents owned which I qualified for rental assistance. When I started dating my husband he was one week away from being homeless. When he moved in my assistance, including food stamps and medical assistance, changed drastically! He decided he wanted to go to college to pursue a business and marketing degree. I worked as a bartender and waitress to support us. My parents intentions concerning the house was if I was ever financially situated, was to purchase the home from them. It was there wish that this home would be mine. They even stated in their will that if anything were to happen to them the house would be mine. I ended up being diagnoised with Diabetes and they put me on pills to control it, at that time they hadn't realized that I was Type 1. Right before we were to be married I was hospitalized because of complications from the diabetes. The doctors realized then that I was Type 1 and I should have been put on shots from the beginning. My husband had to drop out of college to take a job. I found the job for him as an insurance excutive. I found a job as a Store Manager for a catalog outlet store. I got a decent salary, benefits, 401k, etc., etc. I was there for three years. It was a job I loved, but struggled with my illness constantly. Going into the third year of employment I became physically and emotionally ill. I was diagnoised with brittle diabetes, bipolar disorder and p.t.s.s. Then my husband informed me that he had been submitting resumes for Ohio jobs and found one. In the end, I gave up my home, two children, four grandchildren and the rest of my family. We have been here for four years and it's been nothing but a nightmare I can't even completly explain. Instantly he left me at home all the time for so called meethings and work that needed to be finished. He got fired from that job and found another. While working at this job he was activated and sent to the middle east for five months. Got back and continued working at his job. Got fired from there. He was attending night school through all of this and finally graduated with his Bachelors. It was right after graduation that I stumbled upon a voice message from one of the women he had class with. Needless to say it was very personal and insinuated a more than friendly relationship. He moved out/deserted right after me finding this message. It's been three months since he left. I've seen a lawyer to file for a legal seperation. I never believed I'd be taking this action against the man that I deeply love. So after dumping all of this on you, my question is; what can I reasonly expect to receive from all of this. Yes, I have been deemed permanetly disabled for my brittle diabetes. And is there anyone out there that has information concerning the amount of time I could be looking at for all of this to be settled. I live in Ohio. Thanks for putting up with this lengthy heart cleansing. Need help and information! :confused:
