I believe this issue needs more attention as this law is sexist beyond belief (ABSOLUTELY MIND BOGGLING!). All the feminist fighting for equality seem to ignore this issue completely (not surprisingly). Why aren’t women paying alimony to men if they are the ones making more money than their husbands? Is the gender the only criteria here? It is, and is 110% sexist without a shadow of a doubt.

Alimony for life is the worst. Apparently if you’ve been married 10 or more years, your ex-wife is entitled to being taken care off for life. What?? For life? Imagine giving fat checks to a whore that cheated you, said she is not happy and filed for divorce herself, and hates you on top of that. Just imagine it for a second. No hope of ever stopping paying her. You will be 80 years old and still be paying a large percentage of your money to a morally twisted and absolutely ugly inside and out leech. Alimony for life must be abolished and it must go down soon. This is unbearable and should not be tolerated any second longer!

Another archaic aspect of is it is that the alimony seems to be also a percentage of your income, rather than what’s necessary for a human being to survive (like $700 and a roof). People with millions end up paying ridiculous amounts of money to their ex-wives. Does a woman really need 50k per month to survive? Really?

This thread is inspired by a video I just watched. It is a sad video but I suggest you take a look:

I’d like to thank Terrence Popp for making it! This and all his other videos are absolutely great.

One mistake can ruin 20-30 years of your life, letting one woman manipulate you into that mistake can ruin your life. It’s not worth it.

Here is another video about what you are talking about….

Alimony is absurd in all cases, but alimony after the kids are legal adults is legal theft.  Only poverty promotes more evil than the courts.

I don’t see ANY logic in paying alimony to women in this day and age (can’t equal women support themselves??)… let alone paying alimony FOR LIFE. This is absolutely inhumane! This is a travesty of immeasurable proportions!! This could not be the law, surely, it must be a cruel joke.. alas it is the law. I believe this issue needs more attention as this law is sexist beyond belief (ABSOLUTELY MIND BOGGLING!). All the feminist fighting for equality seem to ignore this issue completely (not surprisingly).

Its one of the reasons I’ll never get married.  Its just an antiquated law.  I could understand why alimony was needed several generations ago…if a woman married at 19, only had a high school education, and her work experience consisted of a couple years of being a secretary or something, and she was popping kids out by 20 and devoted her life to raising 7 kids…then at 50 her husband left her…I could completely agree with alimony as that women would be royally f~~~ed.  She would be too old to get any return on investment from education and after 30 years out of the work force with no marketable skills would find it practically impossible to get any sort of decent job.

But today…its a f~~~ing joke.  I could marry a college educated woman, not have any children with her, and if we split I could be on the hook for alimony simply because I make more money than her.  Why?  As far as I’m concerned once a relationship ends its f~~~ing over…whatever benefits, whether it be financial, emotional, or sexual, one may partner may have received from the other ends unless it is voluntarily given.  If they can’t live with that, perhaps they should think twice before cheating, treating their partner like s~~~, or terminating the relationship.

Take Robin’s money now you greedy whores! I believe he is in a much better place now as he was a GOOD man!
