What are the general rules for alimony or spousal support in Alabama?

According to this AL attorney:

http://www.divorceinfo.com/alfaqsalimony.htm

“It's rare to see alimony in a marriage of less than 12 years or so, and also rare to see it awarded in cases where the incomes of the two spouses are more or less equivalent. To state it the other way, alimony is usually reserved for situations where one spouse has been economically dependent on the other for most of a lengthy marriage.

There is a possibility of rehabilitative alimony after shorter marriages.”

And, that’s pretty much the case in other states too.

Here’s a website that lists the factors the court considers in awarding alimony:
