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
Ok, that makes sense -- thanks!
