Can I ask for alimony if I haven't been married for 2 years yet?

In Florida, unless there are extreme circumstances, you would most likely not be entitled to anything other than perhaps some financial assistance to move.

I cannot give you a definite answer. What I can say is that there are actually a number of different factors Michigan courts consider. Of those the length of the marriage and the disparity in incomes tend to matter most. So the shorter the marriage the less likely one will receive alimony. You have a very short marriage; your question does not say anything about the disparity of incomes. Having said that, alimony may be a potential remedy to address marital debt; unpaid rent is a marital debt (like credit cards or car payments). Part of the divorce process is determining who pays which debts. If you are forced to pay his share of a marital debt one way to be made whole is to receive temporary alimony until that debt has been paid back to you. Your situation sounds like one where, based on the length of marriage itself, you may not have a claim for alimony but you could ask for it as a way to handle the debt issue.

Each jurisdiction is different, but it is doubtful you would receive alimony for a very short marriage unless there was a huge disparity in income and you received it for a very short period of time.

You can always ask but by statute (Chapter 61) any support is very limited.

You can always ask. If you don?t ask, the answer can't be yes! With such a short marriage, however, chances are if any amount is awarded, it will not be very much and it will not be for a long period. Have you considered Mediation? Mediation is Fast, Effective and Affordable, but he will have to agree before you can Mediate.
