I thought an alimony was for protection so one spouse couldn't take anything from the other if something happened.. please correct me if I'm wrong

Hi. Alimony is a type of support to the former spouse that, at least in Pennsylvania, occurs after the divorce is finalized.

My wife left me after a year to go live her best life. We have no kids, no assets. She quit her job then filed for spousal support, lying on the complaint making it seem we were together longer, and separated longer.

I am married to my wife for seven months only, the day I got married next day I was out of work. I dont own anything not even my car, I really dont have any incom or savings, I am living off my father and my dad been supporting me and my wife. Now my wife moved back to her mother's house. The only thing I have is my car which is on monthly payments and i use it for work. So what are my options / what should I do. I have zero $ in savings.
