What is the name of your state? MI
My husband & I are divorcing afte4 5 years of marriage. For the first 3 I worked and he took care of the kids. The 4th year we both worked. This last year he is the only one who has worked (and I stayed home with the kids) because I have Lupus and went into kidney failure, underwent chemotherapy, and was generally very ill. Of course, I have applied for disability, but it is a very long process.
What I'm wondering is can I collect alimony despite the length of our marriage? At least until I am either medically stable enough to return to work (which is my ultimate goal) or until my disability is resolved?
We have young children and I am concerned about their well-being.
