[quote=Anonymous][quote]My brother currently paying 5k/ mo alimony. No kids. She left him. She never worked during their marriage. He put her through a top 5 business school even. It's nuts. He makes 180k, so not like he is super wealthy. California considers it a long term marriage. She claims she is emotionally disabled and not able to support herself. Maybe it's true, but it's not my brothers fault and now he's saddled with this burden.

How long were they married?[/quote]

10 years and change---definition of long term marriage in CA is 10 years. I suspect she planned all this. We pushed him for years to lay down the law--she works or he leaves. But he is passive. She said was applying for jobs all the time, but I wonder. She wouldn't consider anything administrative, as if it were beneath her. She has an undergrad from Columbia band an mba from a prestigious school, yet isn't working. She also owns property, it's not like she is a pauper--and got half of my brothers retirement, house etc (700k?) Even though she never contributed a cent. Meanwhile I know people who get far less in child support--! But as much as we all tried to say this was deeply abnormal, he was in denial. Still is, in many ways. Financially he will never recover.[/quote]
