Support is based on the income of each of you. If he has substantially more income than you, he will be ordered to pay spousal support for approximately one-half the length of the marriage. If he income is close to yours, there will be no support.

It is a matter of the details, call my office or another attorney for a consultation. Depending on the circumstances and disparity of income it is possible that spousal support would be awarded.

It only takes one person to get divorced so you cannot stop it. You likely qualify for alimony.

As a long term marriage the court would order support, probably indefinitely. You should discuss all of the facts with a family law attorney.

It depends on the factual situation and what the roles were during marriage. The court will look at several factors and then decide if you should receive support. You have had a marriage of long duration so you may be entitled to some support.

He will probably have to pay spousal support and should have to contribute towards your attorney fees.
