Live simply. Love generously.
Care deeply. Speak kindly.

Military doesn't recognize separations, states do. He's not required to give you any set amount at all. Regulations state that it should be a reasonable amount helping to support his dependents.
Only a court can stipulate a set amount. Much of that will depend on how long you were married, what was contributed to the marriage, your ability to find a job to support yourself, etc.
Courts can determine that a spouse may receive X amount of dollars per month for a specified time frame as well.

Best way to see about all that: get divorced. It's the only way that this can be determined and/or enforced.

look up the JFTRs he still have to provide you will housing and support in terms of feeding you. but thats usually if you get denied going to a base or are persuing school or have to leave to look after a sick family member, you will have a harder time because your choosing to move out and as mentioned the mil doesnt recognize seperations , its married or divorced.

but in the regs he has to provide for you. but he doesnt have to do more then feed you and house you and thats off whatever he deems he wants to give realistically.

best thing get a job make your own money and support yourself

I would not expect much from him. And realistically when you divorce you won't be getting anything but child support if you have children. Alimony is pretty much a thing of the past.

You need to get out there and get a job to start supporting yourself. If you have to, start with a temp agency to get some money coming in while you continue to look for work. Some temps jobs can turn into full time employment too.
