[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Why does an educated mid 50s woman need 15 years of alimony to get herself back into the workforce and be self supporting? She sounds like a lazy abuser of ancient alimony laws. It's crazy this can still happen in 2018, thank god for alimony reform laws.

He should go back to court and have her fair market value income imputed against his payments, and the term greatly reduced based on a reasonable career trajectory.[/quote]

+1,000.

Agree![/quote]

Alimony should last no more than five years. That’s enough time to get back into the workforce. You’re already getting half of the assets. Women today have the choice to SAH or work outside the home. I understand when the children are young, or are special needs, but once they are in school full time, being a SAH is a choice.[/quote]

Many men have not learned this lesson. Hopefully they will counsel their sons differently. [/quote]

I remember confiding with a friend that things were not great with the wife. The whole SAHM not interested in sex thing. His first piece of advice was that she must get a full time job.... if nothing else but to make a divorce easier for us both. Amazingly this also changed our marriage dynamic and we pulled out of the nose dive. I now tell every guy who will listen, married or single, do not agreed to SAHM!!! Or at most maybe 2 years then back to work. [/quote]
