Disregard my post then. XD
I don't even think that exists over here in the UK.....divorce damages the children in a family. They should get all the money! :p

You see, in the US you can get money for just about anything.
I don't agree with alimony unless the woman was in an abusive relationship. Otherwise, no. The man should keep his own money. He worked hard to get it.

What if its an abusive wife? there are some total psychos out there....
Men never get alimony from women... so why should women get it from men? It's pretty absurd really... and the only way alimony usually happens is if the husband made a significant amount more of money then the women did or if she totally relied on him for financial support.[snapback]285774[/snapback]
Thats the situation in my household. My mom and my stepdad are no longer together, but I am not over exaderating when I say he pays for everything. The house payments, the horses, all our other hobbies, food, bills, ect ect.
A lot of women/men rely on their spouse for financial support. I don't disagree with it as long as it is kept within reason. If it is for a short period of time while their ex husband/wife gets back on their feet then thats fine. Then again, there are certain situations such as my mom and her exhusband that it seems very unfair to him. I mean, I understand having to pay for our basic requirments, but feeding ten horses... baha. That is a bit over board.
