My husband and I are getting a divorce. We have been married for 2 years and we have a 2 year old child. I am a stay at home mother but in case i get divorce can i have my husband give me some kind of alimony while i get a place to live and a job??
Additional information
We do not own a home, we are renting therefore, if we divorce i won't be able to pay the rent.
This really isnt the forum to give you the answer that you are looking for. You should consult with a family law attorney in your area. They can review your case and provide you with the answers that you are looking for.
I realize you probably miss posted this question under the agriculture section but as a family law attorney I can provide you with the following general information. There are many factors that a court looks at in determining whether to award a spouse support even temporary support. The fact that you were married for 2 years does not preclude you from requesting or receiving spousal support. The only real thing used in determining the amount of support a spouse will have to pay the other is each parties gross monthly income and circumstances surrounding your current needs (i.e. your education, your ability to reenter the work force, job training required, etc.). Generally as a typical rule of thumb (although the Court's have a lot of discretion), in California spousal support in a short term marriage is awarded approximately one-half the length of the marriage.
