You can argue almost any position but that doesn’t make it right random thoughts Send a noteboard - 30/09/2010 08:17:03 PM
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.


I agree the law should not say it is only for women. Did he oppose haveing it include men or was he only discussing the exisiting law?

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.


Except in unusual circumstance you should be able to continue to get your ex-husband’s money if you get divorced and even then it should be for a limited amount of time. You have a right to half of what was earned during the marriage but nothing afterwards. Women are not children and they need child support. They can go out and get jobs and support themselves. Courts should not be in position of compensating for people’s poor life choices.
