it was never fair, ...also 100 years ago women did not have work opportunities and had just earned the right to vote.

It’s always fair for a spouse who hobbled their own earning potential to raise a family. If you don’t like it, support your spouse’s career.

huh?

I absolutely loved this piece (as well as her dress and shoes): "That’s why I always recommend that people leave while there’s still an ounce of kindness for the other person. Do you really want to pay me $550 an hour to tell you not to write, ‘Dear Skank,’ to the mother of your children?”

No but I guarantee you it's going to have a "waaaah so unfair, women aren't supposed to pay alimony!" spin on it.

The man will say he sacrificed time with the kids so his wife could stay at home.. a gift to the wife, not a hobble to her career because hers either sucked to begin with, was going no where, it was cheaper to stay home or she hated it.

You better get it in writing that your H wanted you to stay home and agrees to pay you in perpetuity. Mostly it’s not that way, lots of bitching that their W can. Bear to leave the child and they cave.

Except what this reporter is asking is to bitch about the ex husband “loser.” It’s disgusting especially b/c in most cases there will be kids involved. So ex-spouses, don’t air your dirty laundry. Respecting your kids’ privacy is way more important than sticking it to your ex.

Dear Jessica,
Why would anybody do this? I would be the elite women of DCUM who would qualify are not stupid enough or publicity hungry enough to even consider it. Are you offering anonymity?

+1, my husband's ex gets life long alimony. She cheated and they were only married 10 years and divorced before age 30. How is that ok?
