(pennsylvania) Married For Only 3 Months, Wife Voluntarily Unemployed, And Now I Am Seeking Divorce. How Likely Am I To Owe Spousal Support Or Apl?
Location: Pennsylvania
I'm currently going through a divorce in Pennsylvania and trying to understand how likely it is that I'll be ordered to pay spousal support or alimony pendente lite (APL), given the circumstances of our extremely short marriage.
Please bear with me here... I know this marriage was a terrible idea, but for the longest time, until now, was undiagnosed with a mental disorder. I've started taking medication recently and can now see how terrible this whole ordeal was...
Anyways, context:
My wife and I dated for approximately 3 months before getting married. We have now been married for approximately 3 months and only lived together during those 3 months. We have no children, no joint bank accounts, and no jointly purchased assets. We do, however, share a residential lease.
When I met my wife, she was unemployed and living with her parents. She previously worked full-time, earning approximately $20/hour, but voluntarily quit that job because she didn't like it.
Throughout our marriage, I have been the sole financial provider. I've paid our rent, utilities, groceries, and essentially every household expense.
I repeatedly encouraged her to find employment and contribute financially, as our original understanding was that we would both contribute toward our living expenses.
Although she occasionally applied for jobs, she limited her search almost exclusively to airline positions rather than pursuing other available employment opportunities.
Eventually, she began babysitting approximately twice per week, earning around $100 weekly. Aside from that, she has remained unemployed.
Will I be expected to pay alimony, or APL?
She is still living with me. Not working, I pay all household bills.
THANKS!

EDIT. I have already had her served.
