[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would she be poor if she's got half of their assets to live off of. She's getting half the house FFS. what we're saying is she doesn't need alimony and isn't entitled to not have to work if he's working and their kids are grown adults. [/quote]

So, if your dad made $300k/yr, you would have been fine with your dad leaving your mom for his secretary and not paying any alimony, even if she had stayed home with you and your siblings for 20 years?  You would want your mom to get a job bagging groceries at Wal-mart, and no part of you would have been even slightly irritated with your dad?  [/quote]

My dad stayed home because he had absolutely unrealistic expectations of how the world works.  He reluctantly did cooking and some housework because what else would an able bodied adult do sitting at home the whole day?  When my mom finally left him, he had to get a low paying job.  As a matter of fact, I’d be more than irritated if, as a reward for letting him leech off her for years, she would be forced to provide for him so he’d never had to work again.

While my father was lounging at home, I worked as a housecleaner and have seen many homes on regular days, not when the company is around.  Let’s just say that the housekeeping skills of an average SAHM were somewhere around my father’s, so not much value there.[/quote]
