An award of spousal support is based on the several factors listed in the Florida Statutes, among which is your need and your wife's ability to pay the same. The length of marriage is also factored in. You really need to consult with a divorce attorney in your area as to the particulars of your case.

All marriages, and the issues of spousal support, are individual and driven by the facts and circumstances. What little facts you have given would hand that it might be possible there would be some spousal support. What you really need is an attorney who is aware of all of the circumstances to give you an opinion.

Maybe. Talk with a local family law attorney about the possibility. It really depends on where you are living.

Spousal support is based on a balancing of your two incomes and the length of your marriage. So, yes. You should be entitled to spousal support.

I don't know what post spousal support is. You can certainly ask for spousal support and the fact that you are a male would have no bearing on whether or not the court determines you are in need of support.
