Alimony if given, should be maxed out at 2-3 years.
No justification otherwise to keep the gravy train rolling.

Yep.
Should factor into behavior while married.

The husband should only support the ex if he decides to leave for another woman or just because he feels like it. If she makes the choice then she’s on her own as far as I’m concerned. Women need men more than men need women and they should know that when they opt for a divorce they’re forfeiting any support from the husband.
IMO, unfaithfulness and domestic violence were the first 2 reasons why alimony should be considered (not guaranteed) for a while regardless of who initiates the divorce.

If you can't figure out out how to get a career off the ground after 3 or so years, that's on you.

Agree. I was just giving the reasoning why some of it exists.
Through my friends, I somehow became very versed in divorce proceedings

Most people wouldn't have an issue with this, as long as its for a limited time.
The no fault divorce or when the women is at fault, screw alimony. They should have thought of that when married.

33 years?! She should have to come over to clean his house and suck his dick 3 times a week.
Yep. And she would take him to court every few years when he got a promotion, and the court would give her an increase in alimony.

And I don’t have an issue with that. But still not for life.
But alimony for life? That makes no sense to me. The only situation I could see an “alimony for life” situation even being considered is if it’s a couple of retirement age (65+) divorcing and there’s no physical way to make up the difference if the wife/husband hadn’t worked for 20+ years. And even at that, I don’t care for the “for life” caveat.

Out of curiosity, what is this bit about from her post?
Don’t like that one, at all. I’ve seen guys pressured by family and the like to put their name on a BC. If paternity is in question, it should be left up to a DNA test.

What are current alimony laws? The whole concept seems ridiculous.
I can’t speak to Florida, but permanent alimony is a lot less common than people assume here in Louisiana. According to my attorney at least.
People just conflate child support with alimony all the time. Most of the time you hear of men paying out absurd sums of money, it’s child support. Entirely different court, different payment calculator, etc.

alimony is one of the top reasons to require a prenup. of a potential spouse imo

For instance, a woman leaving a marriage in a well-documented domestic violence situation who was forced to remain unemployed (a control tactic in DV situations) should get some support until she’s able to get back on her feet.
Even then that feels like it should be a criminal case where even if they weren't married or dating the victim should be owed compensation.
I do understand alimony for if the woman had to stay at home to raise the kids and has no job prospects and a big gap on her resume. But even then it should be nowhere near a lifetime worth. A year or two should be more than enough time to find work to support yourself.

This is a great idea. There's no incentive for divorced chicks to do anything productive if they know they are getting a check every month for the rest of their lives.
This same fundamental component of human nature can also applied to all government handouts...take note.
Lol there is a big difference between living in shitty government housing and surviving on food stamps vs getting 10K a month because you used to be married to a guy that had a lot of money.
I can see the person living in run down housing n the ghetto wanting something better.

The fiancé’s ex-wife wanted something like $3,000 a month in alimony because she was purposefully underemployed (even after their daughter was school aged) once she figured out they could live on his salary alone
She could live on 36K a year? Damn. That's a nice subsidy though for sure depending on how underemployed she was.
