Anyone can ask for alimony (now called "spousal maintenance" in Colorado), but whether he gets in will depend on a number of factors including, among others, his reasonable needs (how much does he need to live), how much property he gets in the divorce, the length of the marriage, the standard of living during the marriage, if he can work and what he could earn (or does he get SSDI or the like), and if you can afford to give him maintenance and still meet your reasonable needs.
