Crazy: I am thinking because the first settlement was for debt and if there is no debt this time that, especially if it was a short marriage the second time, that there will be nothing, but you have not given us much info. to go on. Lawyer or Legal aid needed or check the alimony laws in your State on line. Many States have reduced alimony/changed laws to a more restorative type, of course it depends on many factors like employability of each, age and length of marriage and health status of each person. To save money and stay out of debt, try the following: after xmas sales, clearance of seasonal items sales, thrift shops, wholesale food places, food pantry (if eligible), Salvation Army budgeting assistance. Hope this helps. Kathleen, any comments?
