A: It depends...In Alabama,alimony is based on several factors such as length of marriage, fault leading to the breakdown of the marriage, education, employment history, income, health, need and ability to pay. So, if you have been married for 10 years or so, and you have been dependant on your husbands income for your support and maintainance during the marriage, you have a claim for alimony. Your income will be a factor in setting the amount. It would be best for you to contact an attorney in your county to further assist you in your divorce.
