84 yr old man told by court he can't retire-must keep working and pay alimony

I’m with Old Sage. You’re 84 and don’t have much longer to live. I’d just run her over with my Crown Victoria or my 1981 pickup truck.

Virginia is a f~~~ed up State anyway. I think it’s proximity to Mordor on the Potomac has something to do with it.

I would just let them throw me in jail. That old bitch gets no money and I don’t have to work and get my meals brought to me. Free medical care and a place to stay. The court and that bitch can just go to hell. If enough men did that anyway the laws would be changed in a hurry. The State can’t afford to have all those men in jail. The cost of keeping them in there, plus the cost of the loss of tax revenue plus the loss of production done by men. Get rid of all your assets and go to jail. convert everything into cash and hide it.

This would probably be the best strategy. It throws the problem right back onto the state that created it. As mentioned, if enough men did this, they would have to change the laws just because of the cost of prison care alone.

I was with you until I read Old Sage. If you’re plan is to let the state take care of you in a jail cell, why not go in for a good reason? It’s the best of both worlds.

If you aren’t married, learn from this man’s mistake. To marry is to invite victimization. Who she is now is no indicator of who she will be once her circumstances have changed.

There are other ways of finding happiness. Don’t get married.

I recognise that the calls to “get rid of the problem” are satirical, but if the guy is going to gaol either way, then they can hardly be surprised if he pays the iron price for his ticket. If you back a man into a corner – particularly someone with nothing to lose, like an 84yo – you can’t complain about the outcome.
