Divorce Support Forums: California Law and alimony: Shenaniganz throughout

My situation has been drawn out for a year and 8 months and today we only had the initial hearing. I got fed up because I found out my spouse cheated on me...on several occassions...thank you spyware. Regardless, Cali is a no-fault state. I was served in October of 06, I promptly responded. We waited and waited and tried to talk about a deal. I'm a musician on top of my day job and I have a collection of very nice guitars I've acquired since being with my spouse. I understand that's community property. My spouse worked full time and had a child and we were married just shy of 6 years before I was served. When it came time to file the income and declaration of expenses worksheet, my spouse filed directly after quitting one job...taking a week off to file...the week after they started their new job. If that wasn't enough, I had to try to get them to finish the judgment paperwork...to which I was essentially told to pound tar. I filed mine, then filed an "at issue" so the judge would hear the trial. All assets divided, no child support/I never adopted, no property because I'm in the military and my spouse is seeking spousal support. Oh, by the way, after working full time all this time and going to school they just happened to lose their job last week, a week before trial. Trial has been postponed a week. What are my chances of having to pay alimony in a case like this. I sense shadiness and as a result of their infidelity...I don't doubt it. What should I do? We're both self representing.
