[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Woman here and I agree that alimony is ridiculous. There's no reason any person on God's green earth shouldn't be able to support themselves once divorced.[/quote]

My ex BIL insisted that my sister quit her job when they got married.  She has only a HS diploma and was a receptionist; he has an MBA From an Ivy and his career in investment banking was just taking off.  The first 8 years of their marriage no kids. My sister spent a significant amount of time entertaining his business associates and holding down the fort while he’d be gone weeks at a time traveling internationally for work. The second 8 years they had two kids, both with autism, one of whom will probably never be able to live on own. In addition to continuing what she did the first 8 years, she spent/spends much her day taking their two kids to their various therapies. He had a long term affair and filed for divorce.  My sister damn well deserves and should get alimony. The most she can work is a few hours at pretty much a minimum wage job during the school day while the kids are at school and the weekends they’re with their dad. Meanwhile he now earns $5M a year, still travels a lot and has little time for his special needs kids.[/quote]
