Qualifying for Alimony The hallmark of any alimony case is that one spouse needs financial support and that the other can pay. To determine if alimony is appropriate, the court will evaluate the following factors: both spouse's income and expenses. each spouse's health, ages, and earning capacities.

Even if the account is in one spouse's name and only one spouse made financial contributions to it, any value that accumulated after the start of the marriage (but not before) is generally treated as marital property, which means it may be divided among both spouses in the divorce.

How to Keep a Bank Account Separate? The account should have only your name on it, not your spouse's. The account should not receive deposits of community property. Money earned during the marriage cannot go into the separate account. Any inheritance money or gifts made to you can go into a separate account.

Alimony is based not only on a wife's need to receive alimony, but also on the husband's ability to pay alimony. Especially in low-income situations, it is easy to prove that the wife needs alimony, but if the husband is already struggling to pay his bills, he has no income to pay alimony, so none will be ordered.

A married couple's shared assets must be divided ?equitably? in a Mississippi divorce. However, the assets are not usually divided in a 50/50 split. Instead, the courts will fairly divide the assets while accounting for each spouse's needs, their standard of living before the divorce, and other factors.

No, you cannot.
