Yes, you should be able to get alimony. The only issue is how much and for how long. Alimony is not for an indefinite time. It is negotiable. Consider Mediation. Good luck.

Whether or not you get alimony will depend upon his income and your need. You will certainly get child support.

Yes if he makes enough money to pay both child support and alimony. However I do not recommend attempting to get alimony without the help of a competent family law attorney.
