So as the title suggests, I'm going through a rough divorce. I'm wondering if I'm the asshole for seeking spousal support from her. She's been the only breadwinner since my disability happened 8 years ago. I have zero income. I'm in Texas, a state with no alimony, but it allows for spousal support.

I also asked for half of her retirement, which she agreed to. So far, everything has been amicable. We agree on the separation of property, the kids, and the splitting of the proceeds of the house.

I'm only hesitant about the spousal support and what I should ask. She makes excellent money at work, and I know it will not hurt her.

This is my first and last divorce I'll ever go through, so any advice is appreciated.
