The court will determine whether you are entitled to alimony after considering a number of factors, including what you are able to earn at present, and what your expenses will be. In general, if a party commits adultery, that person may not receive alimony, except under special circumstances. The court can consider who and what caused the dissolution of the marriage, such as whether your husband committed adultery, along with other factors in setting alimony. When you meet with an attorney, they can give you more specific advice on your situation.
