The amount of alimony to switch you may be entitled is a question. The law sets standards for what evidence is to be considered and how it is to be considered with respect to entitlement to and the amount of alimony.

There is no formula for spousal support in Ohio. You need to consult a local family law attorney, who can advise you on how your county handles this.

Did you have a job before you got married? Do you have an advanced degree? How hard will it be for you to find a job. In Idaho spousal support is only given to get the spouse on his or her feet. Depending on the answers to these questions, you might get nothing.

Often none in a short term marriage. To have any hope you need a good attorney.

Spousal support is first dependent upon whether you are entitled to it, and then the court will analyze how much and for how long you should receive support. There is no clearcut formula for determining spousal support as it is contingent on your ability to support yourself (ie what did you do prior to marriage) and his reasonable needs as well. I would suggest consulting an attorney if you have more questions.

None. A spouse is not entitled to any alimony until at least 7 years of marriage.

Depends on whether you have children that need supporting. You will be told to find a job and the court could impute minimum wage to you from the start. Spousal support amounts are discretionary with the judge and based on a lot of factors, not straight off a computer program, so you'd best talk to an attorney in your county. The judge can use the child support calculator to determine spousal support but other things need to go into it, like interest on a mortgage and real property taxes. Ask your attorney to get the court to order your husband to pay your attorney fees.

It depends on earnings, earning capacities, efforts in the home, need, among other factors. 6 years is not a long legal marriage.

This is impossible to answer without gathering additional information to evaluate the statutory factors.
