I've read that I can get alimony in Mass, even after being married for under 4 years. BUT, my sister just told me that my divorce agreement says he and I are waiving rights to alimony, so it's a moot point unless I decide to pay the lawyer more $, and revise the agreement. I don't think it's worth it though.... He could easily retaliate, which is very likely. I know him, and he is vindictive. He's made threats in the past.
