[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend get's alimony for life unless she remarries. She has a bad knee, is on a disability, but even she was surprised when the judge ordered it. Her ex has to keep a active life insurance on him in case he dies.

My brother kept getting hauled into court while his kids were growing up. Most of the time he had to pay his lawyer and hers.
If I recall driving a Porsche to pick up the kids was probably not a wise move, LOL.

Those are probably old cases. Your brother sounds like a non-custodial child support situation, not alimony. He would not have even owed her child support if both have 50% custody.

Nowadays the courts rarely award alimony ... with rare exception... which hopefully the laws will be corrected to prevent such abuse.

Any alimony awarded today is generally rehabilitative alimony, paid for a short time (&lt;2 years) in situations where a SAHM needs training to support herself. That's fair.[/quote]

The friend was 3 years ago. My brother made a lot more money.  He had to travel whereas she didn't and had the kids more.[/quote]
