alimony amount question

[ckc08]

What is the name of your state? California, but marriage occurred in Florida

So, I have a friend, married 2.5 years ago in Florida, now resides in CA. His wife is requesting (demanding) a HUGE amount of alimony. First of all, is she entitled to alimony at all, being married such a short time?

Thanks in advance,

C

Did she put him through college?

No, a 30 MONTH marriage is too short to be entitled to alimony. He needs to refuse to agree to it.

Most likely, no. However you have provided so little information that you really can't get a definitive answer.

It's pretty straightforward. He's in the military. Been married 2.5 years. She made 30+K/year in personal income through her own career. She moved out of state in order to separate, AND to pursue a job opportunity, (she's NOT employed yet); and she's demanding 2400K/month in alimony! She's also extorting him--in that if he does NOT agree to this, she will spread lies about him to his family and potentially affect his career.

Thanks in advance.

Oh, and NO, she did not put him through college--she met him well after he graduated.

He needs to immediately file for divorce and be rid of her.

This is a female strategy learned in the very early years during upbringing.

Tell your friend to tell her to go pound salt where the sun doesn't shine.
