[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Women, these figures of alimony and child support don't sound all that great, do they? How in the world can a woman maintain a mortgage payment on a $1 million house, car payment, etc. without a career of her own. A man is not a plan.[/quote]

Because alimony is different from the division of assets. A $1M home is sold if she can’t pay mortgage and she gets half. Cars can be sold and more affordable models purchased. And, you get alimony even if you do work.

I agree women should have a plan but they should never *ever* waive alimony to which they are entitled.[/quote]

I waived it. 14 year marriage I was SAHW as he travelled. He left making $500k. Dragged out divorce 27 mos (he tried to take full custody, got EOW for himself in a 50/50 state. Asshat).

I got: no alimony after 14 year marriage

And

$1500/month for three kids.

Why? Because I was long back to work and making a ton of money by the time we settled two years later.

A man was not my plan. The courts are a joke. [/quote]
