QUESTION: I’m two months pregnant by my husband who is an unemployed alcoholic. Will I have to pay him alimony when we've been married for less than two years?
MY RESPONSE:
You didn't indicate whether or not you are employed.
I assume from your question that you are contemplating, or already in, an action for Dissolution of your Marriage.
If you aren’t employed, it is extremely unlikely that the Court would order you to pay spousal support to your husband.
If you are employed, your husband could possibly get a spousal support order against you, for 1/2 the duration of the marriage.
You would best seek the services of an experienced Family Law Attorney to represent you, to try to get income imputed to your husband by the Court in an effort to minimize or eliminate your risk of a Spousal Support order against you, and to seek child custody and supervised visitation orders to protect your baby from your husband’s alcoholism.
