Divorce, Marriage, Alimony Law Answers

No.  But you will have to pay child support, which will be based on your income.

Alimony, the court-ordered continuation of what was traditionally the husband's obligation to support his wife from marriage onward despite a divorce, even today can only be awarded from one married person to another.  If there was no marriage, then there can be no divorce and there can be no alimony.
