[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This law will destitute SAHMs and make it financially hard for them to divorce. [/quote]

On the contrary I think it might give women a kick in the rear. More than half of Italy’s women don’t work outside the home. HALF. And that’s not uncommon throughout the EU.[/quote]

I know this isn't a popular opinion in some circles, but it never seemed fair to me that a woman who stayed home with the kids and never had a career outside the home would receive alimony and a woman who worked outside the home and contributed financially would not (and in some cases be required to pay alimony to her ex).  So, if a man is willing to support a woman who doesn't work outside the home, he gets punished for that by being required to support her the rest of her life/some lengthy period of time?  I it when the kids are babies, but if a woman chooses not to establish/re-establish a career after the kids are in school, that is a risk she takes.  [/quote]

What about women who are dealing with special needs children? Caring for sick or elderly parents/ family? There are many reasons families need a spouse to stay home. That person shouldn’t be “at risk” . 
My FIL is a hugely successful businessman, but only by the grace of a wife who picked up the slack everywhere else. They aren’t divorced, but you better believe she’d have earned every penny of alimony.[/quote]

But that's not the majority of stay at home spouses, the ones dealing with special needs kids. Of course she should pick up the slack. What else is she going to do?[/quote]
Well apparently she was going to do ALL of the parenting, because he was choosing not to be present. If you love your children, it’s not much of a choice.[/quote]
