Dear javaking66:

No, you must ask the court for alimony and equitable distribution or it won’t be given. It will notbe forced on you. Thank you.

Should Alimony and Distribution of Property be asked for by dependent or court may force the supportor to give it to dependent without he having asked for it?

The reason I ask is, I am thinking my divorce will “probably” go uncontested. However my spouse is entirely dependent on me as he does not earn at all.
