[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of you have very weird concepts of alimony.  I'm a woman.  When I got divorced I had to pay my ex-husband alimony because I made significantly more than he did.  We did not have children.  Also, he did not financially contribute (or frankly contribute in any way) to my career or otherwise affect my earning capacity.  He was lazy and actually made less over the time we were together whereas I got two graduate degrees, one while working, and my income rose dramatically.  He didn't even take care of the dogs while I was in school yet the court ordered me to pay him money.  I did it to make the whole thing go away, but the notion that alimony is for some SAHM to sit on the couch and eat bon bons is pretty ridiculous.[/quote]

You're agreeing that it's essentially for a SAHM to sit on the couch and eat bon bons but in your case it was a SAH Husband who did nothing.  Same thing.[/quote]

What?  I never said it was ok for a SAHM to sit on the couch and eat bon bons.  Nor a SAHD for that matter.  But all these people are slamming the ex-wife in this case and assuming that alimony always means a husband is stuck supporting his wife because she's always been too lazy to get a job and I was merely pointing out that that is not true.[/quote]
