[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Probably because many divorced women have unrealistic expectations that their alimony and child support should act as total replacement for their marital lifestyle. But if they can't find a new man to latch onto, it's frequently insufficient.[/quote] Alot of states are modernizing the concept of "alimony" to eliminate lifetime spousal support. Barring some extreme condition, no woman should live forever supported by her ex husband, without even getting a job herself. It's not the 1900s, women can get jobs too and support themselves. Thank god the laws are fixing this defect. Child support is a different matter entirely. Obviously the children need ongoing support until they reach adulthood. But in situations of 50/50 custody, I see no major reason why one parent should make large payments to the other, when already the time and costs of parenting are being split equally.[/quote]
