My husband and I have been married for 23 years. During that time I went from being a stay at home mom to being a school teacher. He is a welder/fabricator. We own a home that is entirely in his name. My income is around $48,000 a year, his is roughly 21,000.

It's a sure thing... the spouse with the greater income pays alimony to the spouse with less income.

Even if the woman owes it to the man... as does happen many times.

Your location is important. Many locations do not provide alimony to people who can be self-supportive. If he were a stay at home Dad with no education and never employed, yes, he would get alimony. However, since he does have a job and can be self-supportive, you may not have to pay a dime.
