This is actually for a friend. She is filing for a dissolution with her husband. Neither party is contesting it. They are already living apart. She is worried that he will be awarded alimony. He was working at the time of the marriage but is unemployed now. She works at Mcdonalds and is making less than 19k/year. Also because of her low income she can't afford a lawyer to represent her. Neither can he, and that's why they are just trying to be civil and divide things up evenly.
If he doesn't request Alimony would it be awarded anyway?
If he does request it what would be good grounds for her to contest it?
