    Alimony is only part of a divorce settlement, if so ordered by the divorce court or agreed on mutually before filing for a no fault divorce.
    What country are you in, or from, in the US (since it sounds like you might not be American?)

    In many places there is provision for a separation. A separation agreement could well provide for spousal support.

    But if you can't reach an agreement, usually court ordered spousal support is not in the cards, unless there is a divorce.
