Two years is the most common alimony standard. In order for you to qualify, his income has to be at least double what yours was.

Adultery is not a grounds for divorce in Virginia. so you would have to use the old "Irreconcilable differences", as a grounds. Also, Virginia has some of the more updated divorce laws, so you will have to show where you have made a significant contribution to the financial welfare of the household. the laws changed due to the high number of military spouses in the area. there was a ruling in the supreme court in the mid 1990's due to a law that wanted to give half of all retirement pay to spouses of retired military if they had been married for at least ten years. this was struck down when it was shown that the spouses made no significant monetary contributions to the household during the marriage, and in fact had gained due to the marriage and also that they had no significant factor in the advancement of the husbands military career. basically you need to show that if not for you, your husband would have not been able to earn a living, and also you earned enough to contribute to the household finances.
