A: Possibly. There are a number of factors that go into an alimony determination. The court will not only look at your financial need, but also his ability to pay support. You should speak with a family law attorney to determine your options based on the specific facts of your case.
Homer P Jordan IV and Regina Irene Edwards agree with this answer
A: While it is possible, it is not probable under the facts as you've written. However, you should consult with an attorney for options and suggestions prior to deciding whether or not to divorce related to the financial issues you wrote about. You have a child and support and visitation will most definitely be an issue in a divorce. Rehabilitative alimony may be a possibility too. Again, consult with an attorney BEFORE filing.
Homer P Jordan IV agrees with this answer
A: It is possible, but there's no way for us to tell you for certain. That's a decision a judge will make after reviewing the facts of the case. You should consult with an attorney who can help you plan the proper course of action. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558 HomerJordan.com
