I have been married 22 years and my husband decided he wants a divorce. Says he needs to find himself,to be free,not anwer to anyone. We have 3 grown children, the last one graduates in May about the same time the divorce will be final(how convient). He has said I will not get anything he has worked all these years for. I have been a stay at home mom until 2 years ago where I went into the Real Estate Buisness(big mistake econmically)and made 1920.00 in 2 years. He makes about $150000. yr. Has 2 retirements, savings and checking account in just his name, plus we have a joint checking. I never wanted this divorce and still love him very much(I know!)We have a home that my children were raised in and I don't want to loose it but I can't pay the mortgage on it. He says he could care less if I loose the house. Says he will offer me 1 year of taking care of bills and 25000.00cash. I refused, he said I lost a sweet deal. His retirement is a ALOT more than that. I know I will have to get another job because I can't depend on selling houses as an income in this situation but I only have a GED and have never made more than about 10,000 in a year hear and there. Is there anyway I can keep my home and make him pay for it, even if it is just for say like 10 years? Can I get alimony until I get remarried or what?
He knows I would be there in a heartbeat if he said I love you and I am sorry and I think he uses that to his advantage to manipulate me. It makes me angry that after 22 years he can leave and I am left with nothing after taking care of him all these years. Getting up EVERY morning to cook him breakfast, dinner ALWAYS on the table when he came home in the afternoon.His laundry cleaned EVERY day. He takes trips with the guys 2 times a year that cost about 3 to 4000.00 but he says he can't afford to pay my bills and his too. Help!! I am scared he is right and I will loose everything and have nothing in the end but a broken heart.

Also forgot to mention, we refinanced our home in October 09 and we had a second mortgage that we were suppose to pay off with the extra but instead he took the money and paid his truck off that is in HIS name only. What can I do about that?

Hate to break it to him, but your are entitled to 1/2 of EVERYTHING: savings, retirement, homes, autos.
As for alimony, you may be awarded what is called rehabilitative alimony. It's alimony that is temporary, usually based on the duration of the marriage. In your case, it could go as much as a couple of years.
Whether he likes it or not, his 1 year bills and $25k cash is going to be laughable if that's not half of what you have together (less liabilities, of course). If it's more than half, run with it; if not, hold out.
