Oh no. You’d not get alimony even if asked. You need to be married for ten years minimum for judge to consider alimony. There are some exceptions like some terrible circumstance like sudden permanent disability, caring for infant etc Other than that no. And few months of unemployment wouldn’t warrant alimony. Alimony is meant to help a spouse to get on their feet if they were out of a job market for prolonged period of time (or only worked part time minimum wages kind of thing), were dependent on their spouse and now need time for getting back on their feet. You were making over 100k just a month ago. No that’s not a basis for spousal support
