[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I got divorced three years ago after being married for 24 years. I got alimony for life.[/quote]

Hopefully the courts force you to work the exact same number of hours as your alimony paying husband.
Otherwise, exactly WHAT special thing did you do to deserve some other working slave to support you for live?[/quote]

Why are you so mad? [/quote]

I am mad that any woman would be allowed to work an less than an EX husband who pays her alimony.
Unless she is still making his breakfast, doing his laundry, and giving him BJs... there is no valid reason she should not be forced to work the same amount as he does.[/quote]

My cheating exH dumped me just before selling his stock options and retired. He doesn’t work and I grew up our autistic child while he travelled. I didn’t get any alimony in DC as I was 43. 
All these crazy long alimony orders are usually for 60+ divorces where one party is high earner and the other supported career and is no longer employable due to age. [/quote]

I thought in that  case it was alimony until retirement?

Usually the precedent is you get alimony for half the years of your marriage, so if you’re 60+ it will be about that to retirement. Maybe that’s why they say lifetime.[/quote]

My exH quit his high paying job not to pay alimony. But I am younger than him by a lot and got assets in divorce so I was given no alimony. Although my stay at home was not by choice but to take care of our sick child. 
It also depends if the spouse gets assets abs how much: the more assets you get in divorce the lesser is the chance for alimony [/quote]
