    Default When is Alimony Awarded in a Divorce Case

    My question involves a marriage in the state of: Arizona

    I was married for four years, have been separated for three years. I live in Arizona and he lives in California. I am finally in a position where I want to get a divorce but I am worried that he can get alimony since I make more money than him. Also, I own a business, is he entitled to half of what it's worth?

    If alimony is awarded, it would be a token amount and I'd fight tooth and nail to make sure I wasn't ordered to pay alimony.

    But you know what your ace is? You've been separated for 3 years.... and he's survived without you. The court looks at need and he obviously has no need.

    The business... someone will stop by for that one. Did you have the business before the marriage? During the marriage?

    And...what kind of business is it? Is it a bricks and mortar business that would have value even if you were not there, or is it the type of business that only has value based on your actual work?
