[quote=Anonymous]Alimony in 2018 is so bizarre.  I remember my mom's best friend got divorced from her lying, abusive, alcoholic husband back in 1993 when she was around 45.  Going to college in the mid-60s, they were of the era where it was pretty understandable that the woman didn't have a career to fall back on, so of course she fought tooth and nail for alimony from him. Which meant she's had to spend all those years since then having to remain in contact with her abusive alcoholic ex husband while he tries to hide money and otherwise continue to abuse her.  I acknowledge that in 1993 this was the obvious thing to do.

But now it's been TWENTY FIVE years.  In that period, I started and graduated from highschool, college, law school and became a partner in a law firm.  My god, think of the things she could have been doing during 25 years. I'm not sure why we (then or now) act like a 45 year old women is so out to pasture that she can't possibly work again.  Yes, she's 70 now - perfect age to have worked for 22 years and have retired at 67.  [/quote]
