LOL. She has been retired for decades on the back of someone else, now that someone else needs to extend their time to retirement because getting a low wage job is beneath her? Half of the marital assets, 5-10 years of alimony and then fly baby fly! |

Omg boo hoo. Now imagine all of those single women who got divorced from men who aren't rich. They had to get jobs. There are no guarantees in life. Just because you were a sahm married to a loaded dude doesn't mean you should be guaranteed a paycheck every month just because you exist. Get a job, deadbeat. You already got more than your fair share of all assets. NO ONE should be basically required to be enslaved as an indentured servant because they're required to pay their ex spouse a salary for Infinity for doing nothing. Preposterous. |

So no adult should ever be a SAHP then, correct? Those are your words, that is a worthless job and every adult should Work. |

Who said the guy was loaded? You are presuming having penis means making a lot of money. Laughable. Your a pig. Birth your own babies since that’s your God given… oh wait you can’t. |

Do whatever you want, but own your choices. If you decide to become dependent like a child, surrendering all your financial independence to your spouse, its a gamble. And sometimes those choices have negative consequences. No one should be held hostage unable to retire at a sensible age because an ex-spouse thinks they are entitled to a lifetime of their earnings. |

| I've been married for 35 years. I gave up my career to raise our children, who are now grown. I've been looking for a job, but can't find one. No one wants to hire an older woman who has no job and has not worked for 35 years. I got some training at my local CC, but it made no difference. I'm unemployable. I doubt I'd get hired at Starbucks (no barista experience!). If my husband and I divorced, I would starve if I didn't receive permanent alimony. For younger women who didn't give up their careers, it's a completely different situation. |

It's only 3,000 women in the state of Florida on permanent alimony. Those women most likely were not born and raised in Florida, but in New York or some other Northern state. I couldn't care less if a woman receives permanent alimony, as long as she isn't collecting money from tax payers. Why do you care about 3,000 men who are paying their ex-wives alimony? Anyway, the most likely scenario as to why most of these men continue working into retirement, is that they are paying for their ADULT children. That's not going to end just because the permanent alimony ends. These men will never retire because of the power and validation they receive in the workplace. And most of them are still financially supporting their adult children, like children over the age of 18. |

You aren't unemployable. But you would most likely have to accept a very low wage job. You could work at a deli in a grocery store. You could work in a cafeteria. C'mon seriously. Do you not even see older women working in these low paying jobs? Would you be able to afford the lifestyle you have now? No, you would not at all. |

| Good, there no reason for it and it’s a step in the right direction. Next default 50/50 should be the standard and people negotiate from there and even the playing field. For too long men have taken all the risk and none of the rewards of marriage and I have seen men lose everything. It’s time to level the playing field and be on equal footing when it comes to divorce and family courts. |

Statistics don't align with your views. Men's standard of living increases after divorce, while for women it's the opposite. You might see a man move into an apartment temporarily. Most women can't afford the family home. I'm a woman who chose not have children at all. I think you will see more and more women who just won't marry and have any children, when the odds are not in their favor. Women aren't going to willingly marry someone and have his children and take care of his home without some reassurance they will be taken care of if he decides to high tail it out of there. |

I would guess she can't find a job because of her attitude that she shouldn't work low skill jobs comes through. I don't believe for a second that you can't find employment as a receptionist or customer service or something. If that's beneath you, go run the register in a museum cafeteria - those are frequently manned by older people. If assets, including retirement, is split 50/50, there's no reason for alimony past retirement age. |

Even under this law, you'd get 26 years of alimony plus half of your husbands assets. |

You get half the marital assets, not half of his assets. |

The misogynists can never stop telling on themselves. If a woman works outside the home, she’s abandoning the children and a feminazi and not a woman. If a woman chooses to stay home with the kids, she’s “on someone else’s back,” a useless sponger. Turns out that fascists don’t have any deeply held opinions regarding the sanctity of home or anything, they just really, really hate women. |
