We have been married for 25 years. We have 3 adult children. We have agreed to divorce sometime in the next 6 months. I have held a few jobs, but most have been volunteer work with no pay. I did work at a grocery store recently, but I have no desire to work.
My husband has a small construction business, but income has been minimal for 3 years. We are living off of loans from family and friends. Our house is going into foreclosure this month and we have no assets and no retirement or savings. However, it looks like my husband may finally be getting a couple of big jobs started - in about six months.
If I wait to file for divorce until my husband is making more money could it affect my chances of getting more alimony awarded? In other words, is alimony usually based on the husband's past, current or projected income?
Is there a chance that the judge will not award alimony at all?
