You would need either your husband's permission or the permission of the courts to move your child to another country. Although that could happen, its not terribly likely to happen. Short term alimony might be possible after a 10 year marriage, but anything more than that is unlikely.

You would certainly be able to get visitation, the type of visitation you could get would depend on many different factors.....including whether or not your native country is a signatory to the Hague Convention. In a best case scenario you could get visitation in your native country. In a worst case scenario you could have to come back to the US to visit.

Why would you be so determined to move back to your country? You are lible to lose your child if you insist on going, is there a specific reason you want to leave so badly? Because the courts are not inclined to take a 10 year old and allow you to move to a different country with them. And as for alimony it would depend on your husband's income, if he only makes minimum wage he doesn't make enough to pay alimony and cs, and cs would take priority over alimony.
