What is alimony and how do you know if you qualify to go after your husband for it?

I live in South carolina and me and my husband are going through a divorce. I was approached by a friend about looking into receiving alimony. My husband makes a decent amount of money, and I have been a housewife for 4 years. I only have a high school education and the way the economy is today, there are no jobs here. Does anyone know what the rules are in South Carolina for qaulifying for alimony?

You’ve only been a housewife for 4 years? Women/Men who get alimony are housewives/husbands for 10/15/20 years. Go get a job.

    Oh, there are jobs. Trust me. They’ll have you working at Wendy’s before you’ll get to stay home and live off of alimony.
