there is hardly any such states.. but depending upon the prevalent situation and financial condition of both the spouses the state laws may decide on alimony. However, there are situations where the alimony may not be granted, for instance if one party is at fault then the alimony may not be approved

Alimony is a term that refers to payments from one spouse to the other spouse, for the benefit of the spouse who is receiving payment. Some states use the term alimony; other states use the terms maintenance or spousal support; all mean the same thing. (For simplification in the rest of this section, we will use only the term “alimony,” but wherever “alimony” is used, “maintenance” or “spousal support” could be substituted.) The overwhelming majority of all alimony awards are from the husband to the wife, but in appropriate circumstances (such as a husband who takes care of the children and home while the wife works outside the home), payments from the wife to the husband also can be ordered. The United States Supreme Court has held that it is unconstitutional for a state’s statute to allow alimony payments only to the wife; payments to the husband must be permissible too. All states allow courts to order alimony, although some states are more reluctant to order alimony than others.
