[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to government data, men pay 99 percent of all alimony dollars paid in the US. [/quote] I’m willing to bet that data is at least 10-15 years old and includes a lot of marriages that ended 20 years before that. I think if you looked at alimony awarded in 2022, a much higher percentage would be paid by women. [/quote] Two reasons the proportion is remaining lopsided: 1. Men feel ashamed to ask for alimony. 2. Women push back very strongly when a man asks for alimony, even if she makes a lot more than him - in effect women shame men out of asking for it. [/quote] Pfft no way. Both parties in divorces tend to become jerks and if a guy can hurt his ex financially with alimony, most wouldn't let their concepts of manhood stop them. Men still make more than women in large part because they take career hits to have kids. That's the reason why it's lopsided. [/quote]
