Thank you for your question. Given the short term of your marriage alimony is not really an option for you. As to the assets you may be entitled to a percentage of the marital assets you and your husband acquired during the marriage. However since you have not lived in NJ for a full year and are now back in Canada you do not have jurisdiction to file for divorce in NJ unless your Husband has resided in NJ for a year or longer. You would benefit from scheduling a video or phone consult with a family law attorney to discuss your options.
