Not true. Alimony is based primarily on economic factors--how much did each spouse earn during marriage? What is the earning potential going forward of each spouse? How long will take a spouse who put his/her career on hold for the sake of the marriage or family to get on his or her economic feet? Etc. Elements of fairness may also be considered, but definitely *not* who filed.

Note that if there are children, then child support will typically be awarded from the non-custodial spouse, to help the spouse with custody take care of the children. Also, the property owned by the couple, including savings, investments, etc., will be divided in some fashion.

No - alimony depends on a number of factors, including the length of the marriage.  Also usually the amount is a ratio that is determine at the date when the spousal support is established.
