[quote=Anonymous]Although the reality is that OP isn't going to get anything from fighting here, I do agree with her that it's wrong for her to not get anything to remedy the harm he caused by failing to live up to his obligations as a spouse. My friend was in a similar situation and he did everything imaginable to help his ex get a job after a lay off. Paid for her to go back to college to finish her BA, then a training program for a specific job that she also never finished or did anything with. The law is set up to punish the working spouse for being patient with the useless and/or lazy spouse. If you don't dump the lazy spouse right away, you never get to recoup all the money they didn't contribute to the household. In his case, she received a large inheritance while married but not working and she was able to keep that AND still get alimony from him. She literally ended up with more assets than him after the divorce, but he was paying her alimony. This sort of thing should not be allowed. And yes, OP is in danger of having to pay alimony if she doesn't just walk away quietly while she still can. It is so unfair and sets up terrible incentives for married people. We should encourage the working spouse to be patient and try to make the marriage work. [/quote]
