My understanding is that it's pretty hard to get alimony in CA. And practically impossible in a "short term" marriage, which yours is (less than ten years is considered short term). Your ex would have to prove that she was financially dependent on you for your entire marriage, and if she just had a job but quit the week of filing, that isn't going to help her. If your wife had never had a job, that would be different, but judges aren't stupid and they'll see what she's trying to do. If she's capable of working and has worked before and earned a decent income, she's dreaming if she thinks she's going to get you to support her while she sits on her butt. Did she work the entire time you were married? What is her education level? Did she earn close to or more than you during the marriage? These are all things the courts will look at. Just because she's not working right now doesn't mean she can't and I'm pretty sure she'll be told to get a job and support herself. From what you've said she doesn't have much of a case. Good luck. |
