| ISO DIVORCEES: We're working on a story about high-earning Washingtonian women who've divorced their not-quite-so-high-earning husbands -- and, as a result, wound up paying their male exes alimony or child support. Is this you? Do you think your arrangement is fair, or not? We'd love to know all about your experience. Please email our writer Jessica Goldstein at jessica.m.goldstein@gmail.com or tweet her at @jessicagolds (her DMs are open) to learn more about the story. Thank you! |

The reporter should also consider an angle where women with high-earning salaries that have chosen to remain single instead of partnering with men that earn significantly less than them. |

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. |

| Who in the world would actually agree to do an interview like this? |

Or those who have taken the "cheaper to keep em" mentality, though that would have to be done with anonymity. |
