If the court reserves jurisdiction on the issue of spousal support, an order for some temporary help can be made but the court will also order her to make good faith efforts to find other work and to give you proof of those efforts on a regular basis.

If no contributions were made to my 401k account during the marriage, does my ex receive any portion?

Answered by attorney John J Keenan (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Keenan & Austin, P.C.
As a baseline, your spouse would be entitled to 50% of any increase in the value of your 401k during the the period of the marriage. If you had no increase, she would not be entitled to any of it. This, however, is based on a relatively short marriage, and no additional information. There could be extenuating circumstances like a long marriage, fault on your part, a disability or inability to earn a living on her part, etc. But, generally, and barring the circumstances set forth above, in a short marriage, the parties walk away with what they brought into the marriage, and one half of any assets accumulated during the marriage.
