In Michigan, "spousal support" (the technical term for "alimony") is determined by looking at several different factors, often referred to as the "Sparks" factors, due to the landmark defining Michigan case of Sparks vs. Sparks. These factors include, but are not limited to the length of the marriage, the parties' respective ages and income and health, and the parties' respective earning capacities. However, please note that family laws vary WIDELY from state to state, so I would kindly but strongly recommend you consult with a family law lawyer in the Florida locale where you live, to assess your ability to seek alimony....

If we get a divorce, will the judge order him to pay me alimony?

Answered 13 years ago by Ms. Joanna Marie Mitchell (Unclaimed Profile)   |   3 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Divorce
From what you have stated, yes, it is possible that a Judge may order him to pay alimony. Most likely you would qualify for duration or permanent alimony.

If marital earnings are being used to pay for the property, it can be considered marital. If, on the other hand, he is not paying for this, and it is truly a gift in his name only, and he does not use marital earnings to pay for its upkeep, etc., then it will generally be treated as his separate property and you will not be entitled to a share of it in a divorce settlement. "Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people."... Read Answer

Did he violate the temporary injunction or does the injunction start when I have been served with papers and sign the agreement?

Answered 13 years ago by Jill K. Whitbeck (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Divorce
The temporary injunction only applies to unilateral actions, it does not apply to something you agree to do. So if you agreed to take him off the lease, and he wanted that to occur, there is no violation. The injunction is in effect when the judge signs it. You can claim ignorance of it, but once you have been served, you are on notice and ignorance is no excuse.... Read Answer
