A complete review of the financial circumstances of the parties and the length of the marriage needs to be known.

The primary considerations when alimony is in question is the length of the marriage and the ability of the payor spouse to pay alimony and the need of the payee spouse for such alimony. There are other considerations as well. It would be prudent to consult with a divorce attorney in your area for further, specific guidance. Good luck!

Alimony is generally awarded pursuant to more than a dozen factors the court must consider. Whether both of you are working or capable of working is only one of them. Personal property, like the car, is to be equitably distributed by the court and is not generally a part of an alimony determination, though there are exceptions, such as when the assets received generate a substantial income stream. Consult with an attorney about the specifics of your situation for a more specific answer.
