Juliette --

It looks like you have done your homework. My research also shows that alimony is unlikely. Technically, Indiana allows up to 3 years but in reviewing their case law, they award even that on a very limited basis.

Here is what I found:
Alimony: If the court determines a spouse to be physically or mentally incapacitated to the extent that spouse is unable to support himself, the court may order support for that spouse during the period of incapacity. AIC 31-15-7-1, 31-15-7-2

If the court finds that a spouse lacks sufficient property to provide for his or her needs and is the custodian of a child whose condition requires that the spouse forego employment, the court will order support for that spouse in an amount and for a term that the court deems appropriate.

Factors the court will consider in determining the amount and term of an award of alimony include:

The educational level of each spouse at the time of marriage and at the time the action for dissolution is commenced;
Whether an interruption of education, training, or employment of a spouse occurred because of homemaking or child care responsibilities;
The earning capacity of each spouse; and,
The time and expense necessary to acquire sufficient education or training to enable the spouse seeking alimony to find appropriate employment.
In no case will the court order alimony for a period in excess of three years. AIC 31-15-7-2
