    Are you separated? Are these payments court-ordered as some type of separate maintenance or alimony? If he's court-ordered to pay you $1,000 per month, then he's required to do it, pure and simple. If there's no court order, then he's not required to do anything.

    Yes unless there is a court order he does not have go give you a penny.

    And often spouse support after a divorce is only for a few years.

    So you will have to file for divorce, get a divorce and have the judge decide he has to pay you anything at all, and if so, for how many years
