quote:very myopic approach
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.
Woman graduates in engineering. Has a great job and is moving her way up the company. Her and husband and decide to have kids. As a family unit, the wife stops working and raises kids for 15 years, while the husband keeps working and continues his career growth and promotions
Husband cheats on wife multiple times, so wife wants a divorce
Just frick the wife here and completely screw her because she stunted her career growth for almost 2 decades raising the family for the cheating husband?
Do women sometimes abuse the situation? Of course. But the above situation happens quit often but this board is so terrified of women they don’t think it is possible

You had your wife stay home and raise the kids while you work. She goes 18 plus years without any work and then you decide to run off with the pool boy. Now she is out of the house and realistically can't get a job doing anything because she's been at home for 20 years and no resume. That's the basis

We had to wait a year because we had a child. Since I would be deployed, I paid alimony that was enough to pay the mortgage. When I returned the divorce was final, I got the house and ended alimony. Stil paid child support and daycare but literally got the money back and she had a free roof for a year. Win win

Good. I worked with a guy in Florida who got divorced at 45. The wife refused to work. He is still working at 78 because he had to pay her alimony payments.
It’s not retroactive fyi
edit: this bill doesn’t end current alimony for life agreements already approved.

If you can't figure out out how to get a career off the ground after 3 or so years, that's on you.
So he gets all those spoils, while the 40 year old who gave up her career gets to live in an apartment after the nice low paying job she finds after 18 years unemployed
Holes in your way too, because you aren’t making up 18 years in “2-3 years”

I’ve never been divorced. Why are women the overwhelming recipients of alimony?

The wife probably should’ve thought about that when she decided to major in sociology instead of getting her RN

but as is typically the case, there is very little reasoning or middle ground along those lines, it was a family decision, just like a bad investment or a failed business startup

Now I think it’s absolute horseshite when the at fault party of a divorce gets alimony.

Pre Nups and Post Nups Agreements need to be more commonplace and accepted.
Woman wants to leave work and stay at home then document the situation and what happens if contract is broken.

has to go through chambers before being passed? the only reason my ex stopped trying to get more $ out of me is that she drank herself to death, she was trying to get a second QDRO up until the month before she died, and this was was after almost 20 years post dissolution and her having remarried

I'm pretty pessimistic about family courts, and even I'm honestly surprised that this practice was common in cases where there wasn't a disability or some other issue preventing income.
IMO the family court system is tilted too far in favor of women (and the lawyers). It needs to be more neutral from the spousal perspective.

First of all there should be no alimony unless you are a stay at home parent. We all choose our careers. Sorry if your career doesn’t pay as much as mine.
