Jenney, I am impressed by your inability to understand what I post,
This is what I posted this time:

" am not thinking about trying to get alimony or anything like that as
I am still married and will be hopefully for a while longer"

What does that say to you? That I am getting a divorce?

Of course we are not getting a divorce because I will be able to
contribute now if everything gets resolved. What I am asking is that if
a husband leaves a wife in that situation, would she be able to claim
alimony. I started to think this because we were almost to that point
and it would not be fair for a woman to be left in that situation.

JENNEY, I ASK TOU TO PLEASE READ BETTER I AM NOT SAYING ANYTHING
DIFFERENT. MY MARITAL PROBLEMS ARE BECAUSE OF THE FINANCIAL ISSUE. NOW
THAT IT IS CLOSE TO BE OVER WITH, WE ARE CLOSER THAN EVER. I WAS JUST
WONDERING BECAUSE THERE MIGHT BE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT COULD BE LEFT IN
THIS SITUATION AND THEY MIGHT THINK THAT THEY HAVE NO RIGHTS!
PLEASE READ!!!!! IF YOU NOTICE, ON THIS POST I AM TALKING IN PAST TENSE
AND NOT PRESENT!!!

Thanks everyone. I guess I haven't explained myself well, or perhaps
Jenney misunderstood this post.

My marriage WAS in trouble because of the financial issues. We are
going to go to my hubby's dad to leave until I get my GC and a job.
Once I found out that we are going to be having the I-130 interview, I
told my hubby and we made up.

I posted this question here not for me, but for everyone else out there
who have nothing in the U.S. but a spouse that wants to leave because
of wathever issues. Like I said me and my hubby are broke and IF WE
WERE to divorce I probably would get nothing because he doesn't make
enough, so I wouldn't even consider that. So the question is irrelevant
to me.

A lot of aliens think that they have no rights. If someone new were to
come to this forum with similar problems that I came in with, I just
wanted them to know that THERE IS HELP. I will definetly advise them
not to listen to Jenney though as it is obvious that she has a reading
and understanding problem. She has been nothing but mean!

Perhaps if your posts were consistent, you would be less impressed! The reason you are misunderstood is because you cannot keep a single thought straight in your head. There really is no substitute for proofreading!

This makes no sense. Where are you leaving to?

Umm... I wouldn't talk if I were you!

That says, to me, that although you are still married FOR NOW, divorce is still a possibility. When you say you "will be hopefully" married "for a while longer" -- how much longer? A few months? A few years? "A while longer" usually doesn't imply a lifetime.

If that is not what you meant to imply -- that your reconciliation is only temporary -- then your word choice was unfortunate. It would have been much clearer had you said something like, "I'm not thinking about trying to get alimony or anything like that as my husband and I have reconciled and are not getting divorced." Also, the inclusion of the word "hypothetical" does wonders for clarification.

I will definetly advise them not to listen to Jenney though as it is obvious that she has a reading and understanding problem. She has been nothing but mean!
Wow, that's pretty amazing. I've been nothing but mean, huh? And have problems reading and understanding?

I guess you missed the post where I was only one of two people who congratulated you about getting your long-overdue interview date. And I suppose you also didn't read the other post where I gave you a lot of sympathy because my husband and I, also, are going through extreme stress and financial troubles right now. I ended that post by saying, "So believe me, I can and do understand what you're going through, and I hope everything turns out for the better for you very, very soon."

So very, very mean indeed!

~ Jenney

ps. I'm glad to hear that you and your husband have made up, and I sincerely hope that it is a long-term reconciliation. You've already been through enough already.
