If My Husband Does Not Have Any Assets And Is Jobless Too, What Alimony Does He Have To Pay When We’re Divorced?
If my husband does not have any assets and is jobless too, what alimony does he have to pay when we’re divorced?
If your husband does not have any assets and is jobless, too, he has to pay you alimony. But the amount of alimony that he pays will be dependent on his income.
If your husband has no job and no assets, then he is not required to pay you alimony. However, if he has a job then he will have to pay you alimony depending on his income. The amount of the alimony depends on the gross income of your husband. If the alimony is less than 20% of his gross income.
Wondering if you have to pay alimony if you've never been employed? It depends.
In most states, if neither party has any income or assets, the judge will not order one party to pay alimony to the other. In fact, under these circumstances, it would be impossible for one spouse to pay alimony to the other.
But what happens if both parties are unemployed and have no income or assets? A few things could happen:
1) Each spouse could agree that neither of them will ask the other for alimony;
2) The court might decide that an unemployed person has a legal right to support from a spouse;
3) The court might ask both parties to seek employment;
4) One spouse could pay support to the other spouse for a set period of time;
5) If either party is determined by the court to be disabled and unable to work, payments could be ordered for a set period of time until the disabled party recovers.
