Because the law in question only eliminated it for women. Phelix Send a noteboard - 30/09/2010 05:27:12 AM
They need to do away with it all together except in extreme cases. It is 2010, women can support themselves even it may not be in the style they had grown accustomed to. In most the case I have seen the guy sure isn't living the same life style he was before the divorce. Family courts should not be used for extortion.


If the law was even handed and eliminated alimony all together, or in all cases of infidelity, sure that would be fine, but it didn't do that. It specifically called out women.

That said, if you're divorcing and suing for half of your joint possessions, you could make a strong argument that the years of support you gave your spouse entitles you to a portion of their income until you marry again because without you and your support they would not have been able to achieve as much, especially if you became a stay-at-home spouse or parent to allow them to work.
I was Phelix on wotmania, I will always be Phelix in the "real" world, and now I am Phelix on RAFO.

You will make all kinds of mistakes; but as long as you are generous and true and also fierce you cannot hurt the world or even seriously distress her.- Churchill
