VA - How much can I expect to receive in alimony after 4 years of marriage - stay at home mum for 2.5 years - no income. Husband makes $350,000 excluding bonuses??? - no children together.

We don't "do" financial estimates (or worksheets.) A few states have calculators online: google and see if VA is one of those.

Assuming that your current husband is NOT the father of these children, right?

Alimony , if any for such a very short term mortgage, would be very temporary. I hope you are looking for a job and a longer term way to support yourself, and share the support responsibility for your child.

Why do you think that hubby will be paying ANY support?? The fact that you are a SAHM to children that are NOT HIS is irrelevant. Get a job.

Yup. He gifted you the opportunity to be home with your child when they were youngest. He's done gifting. A person who only had a 48 month marriage, really has no alimony entitlement. You need to go back to doing whatever you were doing to support yourself before he married you and gifted you that SAH time with your child.
