More details to this question:
I live in Wisconsin and have been married for 8 years. I will be filing for divorce soon. My husband makes more than double of what I make. He is staying in the home while I move to a one bedroom apartment. I just started a job a few months ago after being off work for 3 years. I am under a doctor's care for mental illness and take medication. I also live with chronic pain from a failed back and foot surgery last year. I don't know how long I will be able to work. I don't think that I could get much more money working somewhere else than I do now. Am I entitled to alimony, even if it's temporary? I don't know how I will pay the bills.

It is ordinarily f difficult to get a maintenance award on a marriage of less than 10 years in Wisconsin, absent extraordinary circumstances. On a temporary basis, you can request an initial FCC court hearing, and to help you get your feet on the ground, may decide to give you temporary support, but it will still be difficult.
