[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]:hand goes up: I know tons of middle aged divorced women with kids, most definitely on the prowl, who work full time and get sizable alimony, you interested, OP? [/quote]

+1, my husband's ex gets life long alimony.  She cheated and they were only married 10 years and divorced before age 30.  How is that ok?  [/quote]

Oh wow, I most definitely call BS.

Alimony in perpetuity nowadays has to have VERY extenuating circumstances.

They were only married 10 years and she gets alimony in perpetuity???

What exactly was the basis for this?
I'm dying to hear this. [/quote]

No idea.. he got screwed over.  Its part of his military pension so he cannot fight it even though she was only with him the 10 years not 20 he was in.[/quote]

The federal retirement system is a different thing than court ordered alimony... when on active duty we saw a lot of divorces happen RIGHT before that magic 10 year number (or right after, when the spouse was basically guaranteed a portion of it for life if the service member/federal employee retired out of the federal system).  It happens in the federal system as well - we had a good friend who is a Fed employee go through a divorce (no children) and her husband was at fault- she still had to buy him out of her retirement (get him to sign paperwork to waive his rights to half of her retirement).  The system definitely needs to be re-looked! [/quote]
