Alimony can be for males and females

Men pay 99 percent of all alimony in the US.

They were all married a long time though - at least 20 yrs.

My mom and dad divorced back in 2000, married 20 years as well. Her alimony is up this year. She's been getting a stepped down amount each year and is down to $1,800/mo, much lower than what she started with. It's been 18 years and she never spent a single day of that cultivating a real career. Now she's completely fuc%ed st the end of this year. She's 64 and working at a daycare center for barely a fraction over minimum wage

He on the other hand, just retired as a CEO. I really think she just doesn't like to work and never maintained her appearance well enough to snag another man who could support her

Wow. You sound really bitter and mean towards your own mother.

That's not uncommon with children from divorce. If the kids grow up to be non-losers, and mom or dad is a loser, they tend not to respect that loser parent.

Ca is crazy when it comes to alimony. My friend ended up paying a fortune to his lazy unfaithful wife for decades. They need reform.

I'm in VA and divorced after 17 years marriage. I forfeited alimony for a flat percentage of his b uisness. 17 percent. He loved the deal for years until he got remarried and had another kid and his wife is furious I own a piece of "the kids future." At Easter she asked if I bought my purse with "My blood money check"!!! I smiled and said "yes and this matching wallet!" It varies between 24k to 36k a quarter. I did live on it for years but I got my masters and now have a better job so now it's just investment money and money for my kids. We agreed to 50/50 college and ex just last year said "Larla is hoping we can do 80/20 since your quarterly checks are so high." Hahahahahahahahahahabahahahha

I have a friend who pays $7,000/mo on a $150k salary, combined alimony and child support. 15 year marriage, SAH wife, she filed. He has the kids half the time. But the gravy train ends after six years, then his ex has nothing.

The difference between a whore and an ex-wife: the whore goes away after she's been paid.

Thank you for sharing your situation. I am considering doing something similar except (asking a percentage of his salary) and forfeiting alimony. Do you think it's possible? I have a graduate degree but was either in school (he did not pay for it) or took care of the kids and worked part time most of our marriage. Also, if you have a lawyer you could recommend, I would be grateful.

Perhaps because women are 99% of the SAHM parents?

Family friend was married to athlete who later became a commentator. Her alimony (kids were grown) was quite a lot

You will never get a percentage of salary. Percentage of buisness that was started during the marriage is a completely different animal.

I had to show in court how I helped start the buisness. Was able to show how we co signed the initial lease and I worked in the office for years...even though I never drew a salary. My advice is to pay yourself minimum wage just to officially be on the books if working for family. Assuming you worked part time for your family business I think you would have a good case. My attorney stopped practicing 6 years ago. Sorry just be ready to prove how you were a vital part of the initial grassroots of the project. Exdh never really fought that either though. The main fight was deciding a percent. I really wanted a third in the beginning and settled at a percent for every year married. Also keep in mind your ex (or mine) could purposely run that business into the ground and you then get nothing. He can then go on and start a brand new business under the same model that you have no connection to. Luckily that is tons of work and most people aren't that mean but my lawyer had stories!

My sister was married to her now ex-husband for 21 years total.

They have two minor children.
She gets child support for the kids as well as alimony unless she chooses to remarry.

The alimony is 1/2 of what her ex makes, excluding work bonuses.
She IS required to file taxes on what she received each year plus she will get half of his retirement too.

Yep -> She lives in CA.

Alimony is gross. Have some pride.

Yes- I’ve said that many times to the man who expected me to carry his children, raise his babies, coddle his fragile ego, give up my career, to support his travel, MBA and relocations, and willingly share my trust fund- and then just expect nothing when he becomes a drunk and leaves. Have some damn pride.

I’ve quit saying that and just grin she I take more than 50% of his income each month between alimony and CS
