Spousal support from or after a divorce is not principally based on fault or wrongdoing: it is mostly based on the soon-to-be-ex spouses' respective economic and financial positions. To oversimplify, the one who has been earning more will generally pay support to the one earning less; the one with greater future earning potentially will generally pay to the one with less potential. If the spouses were even economically or financially, there may be no support.
