[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Women, these figures of alimony and child support don't sound all that great, do they? How in the world can a woman maintain a mortgage payment on a $1 million house, car payment, etc. without a career of her own. A man is not a plan.[/quote]

Because alimony is different from the division of assets. A $1M home is sold if she can’t pay mortgage and she gets half. Cars can be sold and more affordable models purchased. And, you get alimony even if you do work.

I agree women should have a plan but they should never *ever* waive alimony to which they are entitled.[/quote]

I waived it. 14 year marriage I was SAHW as he travelled. He left making $500k. Dragged out divorce 27 mos (he tried to take full custody, got EOW for himself in a 50/50 state. Asshat).

I got: no alimony after 14 year marriage

And

$1500/month for three kids.

Why? Because I was long back to work and making a ton of money by the time we settled two years later.

A man was not my plan. The courts are a joke. [/quote]

Why shouldn’t he, barring extreme physical abuse, have gotten 50/50? Do you think kids should only know one of their parents? 50/50 should be the default.[/quote]

As someone whose kids experienced physical abuse (CPS finding) but not “extreme” do you really think a kid should be forced to live with someone who is moderately physically abusive?   Not abusing your children at all should be the default.  If you meet that standard then we can talk about 50/50.[/quote]

Most parents aren’t abusive. [/quote]
