divorce from another state

What is the name of your state? TX
What is the requirement for paying alimony if you are now the resident of a state that does not require alimony but the spouse wanting alimony is still living in the state that DOES require it. ex. NY And what are the rules of alimony if the spouse doesn't have a job? Can you require alimony payments from one who has no income?

The laws of the state in which the divorce is filed would hold. NY does *NOT* "require" alimony. As for the unemployment - a lot will depend on the reasons for the unemployment.
