NC Alimony Question

[Alexis]

Just wondering if North Carolina requires a couple to have been married for a certain length of time in order for a spouse to be able to recieve alimony. Thanks for you help!

 

[Duranie]

It depends on the length of the marriage and each persons incomes. Alimony is almost never awarded in short term marriages, i.e a couple of years. If any is granted for a short marriage it generally will be very brief.

My husband was court ordered to give 1/2 his Boilermaker Pension to his ex-wife who has since passed away. Is there a way to get a court order to restore this 1/2 to my husband?
