A: Given the short term marriage, and the fact you have been separated a long time, you will probably not get any alimony.

A: You were not married very long, so it is not likely that you are going to get support. You may want to consider consulting with an attorney who can review the facts of your case in detail and help you plan the proper course of action. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558 HomerJordan.com
