Illinois- I have been married for 2 1/2 years to a man that is 21 years older than me. I worked only part time throughout our marriage and quit in June of this year. I have been diagnosed as having Bipolar Disorder, anxiety, PTSD and a back injury with nerve compression causing a lot of pain. I do not function well, having many days where I don't get out of bed. My husband in not supportive and causes me more anxiety.
I want to get a divorce but cannot afford anything because i have no income. He has been paying the bills for the last year (when he feels like it). Mainly focusing on what he wants-cable, internet, energy- while my car is about to be repossed. My credit is shot as a result. He makes about 42k a year, and carries the health insurance. We have no children together, but i have a child who he insures. He is also trying to file bankruptcy on our marital debt (all in my name) to add insult to injury- I have also posted on that.
Will i be able to get alimony? How much? For how long? What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
