Eight years is NOT a long marriage justifying alimony.  During that time, OP, you should have become able to support yourself.

Could you please cite precedent for your opinion? Or are you just morally outraged? A court will look at any number of factors to determine whether a spouse is entitled to some measure of post-separation or post-dissolution support, including (but not limited to) length of the marriage, present and prospective employment, educational attainment, earnings past/present/projected, and the presence of children and other dependents. The court can consider any or all of these factors in determining whether any support is payable, and if so, for what length of time. Support is not an open ended proposition. The court is seeking to do equity between the spouses, so that one spouse is not disadvantaged unduly as a result of the dissolution of the marriage.

 

Moralizing on this topic is not helpful. The OP needs legal advice from a local family law attorney.

Theres already a lot of answers here but I still have something to add. (Perhaps the OP hasnt come back due to the nature of some responses) but I hope she is still reading.

 

Divorce is a state issue- meaning that every state will have its own rules about alimony and how the 864 comes into play. She already spoke to her attny who told her the 864 is not recognized in her state during the divorce. Her only option is to find an attny (easy on google) by using keywords like suing for support 864 or 864 divorce obligations. Webpages will come up that are attny advertising for suing on the 864. Will she get anything? Perhaps.

It varies by state. In the state I filed for it at, the 'long term' time frame was a marriage over 5 years....with other factors coming into play as well.

Perhaps he has claimed alimony and she is trying to counter with the I 864?
