Answer 1

Yes, by law, you are eligible for alimony, but there are some stipulations to the alimony law.

Alimony is deductible by the payer and must be included in the spouse's or former spouse's income. Although this chapter is generally written for the payer of the alimony, the recipient can use the information to determine whether an amount received is alimony.

More information is located at that website.

Answer 2

I'm not positive, but I've heard he has to pay for half of the time you were married.  So you might get a year of payments.  Anything would help at this point right?
