As far as alimony, you do not provide enough information for the question to be answered. As far as retirement, she could be entitled to a portion of that portion of the retirement that was earned during the 3 years of marriage.

That's hard to say, retirement benefits maybe not. Alimony is a finance issue and you should speak with an attorney.

Maybe, a little, but not very much. The amount, if any is a function of the length of the marriage.

You may have to pay short term support depending upon the difference in your incomes. She will also be entitled to one half of the community property accumulated during the marriage. You should consult a family law attorney to review all of the facts and your assets and advise you.

1. Alimony is up to the Judge, if yes very short period of time. 2. Pension - Most judges use a formula, her maximum interest would be one-half of what was contributed or earned by the Plan during the marriage.
