[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes she can try to get a job but age discrimination is rampant and women in their 50s are particularly hard hit. She is not likely to find anything well-paying with her experience unless she has useful current skills from her work with her husband.

OP what skills do you have from the business?[/quote]

You are missing the point entirely. It doesn't matter how much she earns. It doesn't matter what skills she has, or not. What matters is [b]she must work (the same # hours/week) as her alimony paying husband[/b].[/quote]

You keep saying that, but that’s not actually the standard for spousal support.[/quote]

I keep saying that as a PSA to all that despite all the great alimony reforms that have all but eliminated unjust alimony, there still are a few cases a working husband pays alimony to an Oprah watching unemployed ex wife. Write your local government representative to squash this remaining hole and prevent anyone ever receiving alimony to do nothing. [/quote]
