Permanent alimony makes absolutely zero damn sense.  Why should any man pay some dead beat woman money 18 years after they’ve gotten a divorce simply because she doesn’t want to get a job?  Men and women are equal these days.  Lazy women can get jobs. It’s not your ex-spouse’s responsibility to fund your lifestyle years and years after a divorce.[/quote]
I see both sides.

I can understand older women keeping their permanent alimony since they came of age in a time when they weren't necessarily encouraged to get jobs. Their numbers are obviously dwindling.

A "normal" couple who are equals in earnings (even if man earns slightly more) and they aren't an older couple - I can see why the wife in that case shouldn't get lifetime alimony (were they?)

A couple in which one of them (usually the husband) was a mega-earner and this is the first spouse. Usually in cases like that, the woman would have given up her job in order to support the husband/family - she loses out on years work experience. She most likely couldn't easily jump back into the work force at a well paying job. In that case, I would have no problem with her getting permanent alimony.

A second wife who divorces? Meh, it depends on the situation.[/quote]

If a husband is a mega earner then they’re hiring nannies, au pairs, cleaning staff for the house, and even people to prep food.  There are no guarantees in life.  You get divorced, too bad.  You can go to work bartending, waiting tables, doing administrative support, etc.

Why should your ex fund your lifestyle for years after a divorce and on into retirement.  Absurd.  Get a job like the millions of other working class people who’ll have to keep working into old age.[/quote]
Np- people build up to become a mega earner.  Some women stay home and do everything for the family while he is building an empire. If she put her career on hold, so he could build his, she should get her fair share. [/quote]

Sure. So the woman is either a sahm or making millions as a CEO because there are so many of them?[/quote]
