And has a statute which outlines 12 factors that a judge must consider in whether or not to word alimony. The length of the marriage per case law is considered to be a very important and relevant factor. You have a very short marriage and your incomes are fairly equal. It is unlikely that she will have to pay any alimony at all. It is important that you consult with a lawyer and seek advice as to the particulars of your case in order to receive more specific guidance.
