A: Alimony is based upon a variety of factors. If your income is far greater than hers, then she may have a claim for alimony. Speak to an attorney who can give you advice after hearing all the facts.

A: You do not mention whether you are currently involved in a divorce action. If you are, then the answer to your question will be clear at the end of the case. If you are not in a divorce case and you are still married to her, then you do not have to pay her alimony -- unless, that is, some court has ordered you to pay her something. This is highly doubtful, however.

A: Duplicate question, see the original for responses.

A: A judge will make a decision regarding alimony after reviewing the case. You should work with an attorney who can review the facts in detail and provide you with guidance.
