My wife and I only experienced marriage for 11 months. She has filed for divorce. When we got married, I was receiving unemployment benefits but eventually it ran out. I'm now in another city on my own and don't know where my next meal is coming from. I want to seek spousal maintenance until I can get employed again. Am I eligible?

Having said that, the laws vary by state. What state do you live in? The legal experts will need this info in order to give you an accurate answer.

My guess-you are in Texas. According to Tx laws spousal maintenance /a.k.a. alimony/ is not awarded if the marriage lasted less than 10 years.
