spousal support

I will be 57 this month and my husband packed up today and told me he is filing for divorce. He already has an atty lined up and ready to go! (I had no idea.)
We have been married seven years and before that, we were married sixteen years. (We divorced and then remarried.)

Will the divorce hurt my chance of spousal support? I am terrified as I have very few job skills and, well, I am not young any more.

Re: spousal support

Jenn: Research the divorce laws in your State on line. There is a good chance you will be getting spousal support (alimony). These are long marriages. I was divorced in my late 40s. I visited the food pantry while waiting for support. I still shop at thrift shops. Get a Lawyer. Get whatever help you need.
