More details to this question:
Surely, my husband has all the property. I can’t count the times I’ve moved. He being a marine all assets mainly given after we separated. Where still married. I don’t even have my bed but I need the money, $600 for a year, but he also gave me $15,000 prior. Is that enough to make up for what he has because I followed him for his marine career? And not to mention my broken heart.

That will be decided after all assets are revealed. It is hard to say in this type of forum.

It is enough if the court says it is enough. All you can do is ask the court for what you think is appropriate and prove facts why it is appropriate.

You might get alimony under the circumstances you describe, but it's impossible to predict that with any degree of certainty, and it often depends on how well you make the case for alimony and how sympathetic your judge is. You mention "my broken heart"; I am glad you did because many people believe alimony is awarded to "punish" the spouse who wants out of the marriage or who, by adultery or substance abuse or spousal abuse, brought on the divorce. The primary reason for alimony is to fill the financial need of the spouse seeking alimony.
