Under th laws of all states in this country as well as its territories one spouse in a martial dissolution action is never entitled to alimony from the other.
Spousal support whether such is awarded for a certain period of time is based upon numerous factors looked at by the family law court such as: length of the marriage; the income of one spouse compared to the other; whether the spouse seeking alimony can get a job quickly or not; and the age of the parties.
