You are already divorced?

Your husband's income is from SSDI?

And HE has custody of your children?

Please confirm.

Ex-husband means you're already divorced. What does the divorce decree say about alimony? If it says that you can file later, then you might have a chance. But probably not. Alimony almost always has to be requested in the initial divorce proceedings.

And even if you could, I can't believe you'd get much. He's supporting kids on SSDI - and you apparently aren't providing any support to the kids. You want to take MORE money from him? Great parenting skills.

You're going to need to go out and get a job. If you try to collect alimony, he may well come back and get an order for child support. Even if you're not working, an income can be imputed to you.
