Your Views On Alimony

[Outlaw2747]

Just what the title says folks. Good or bad? Blessing or curse. Necessity or waste? Just for anyone not knowing, here is a link explaining what alimony is.

GF, have at it.

[Lethalfind]

I don't think if the case is about a person (male of female) that is perfectly healthy and able to work that they should be given alimony.

 

I have seen cases where I think it should be given. In the case where one spouse puts the other through law school or medical school working the entire time and paying all the bills...I think they deserve something in the end.

 

I had a friend whose health was totally ruined from having children, I will spare you the gruesome details, her ex husband was ordered to continue paying for her insurance.

 

What I think is stupid is when women LET their husband tell them to stay at home and raise the children, then by the time they re-enter the workforce, they are either way behind or have nothing to offer. Is that the mans fault that the woman was stupid enough to let him order her around??? I don't think so.

 

I don't think either a man or a woman should be crippled financially by something like alimony, except in very unusual circumstances.

 

I have heard cases where a man has had to pay alimony for the rest of a womans life, or for 10 years or until they get remarried...I don't get it. If there was a mitigating circumstance like she can't work because of something he did, then that would be different but simply not wanting to be married anymore shouldn't mean someone has to support another for the rest of their fuckin life.

 

Split the damn assets and call it done.

[Novalink]

Split the assets, but if by mutual agreement the wife has stayed at home to be the caretaker and will be disadvantaged re entering the work force as a result, then temporary support seems like a fair thing.

 

In the reverse situation if man was the caretaker the same support should apply.

[Lethalfind]

I think couples should talk this out and decide it between themselves before they get married and sign a pre nuptial agreement laying out this information.

 

I think too many people believe their spouse owes them a living because they broke up...

 

Maybe if couples did hammer things like this out in a prenup, people would have a better idea of what they are getting into by marrying someone...

 

I know of a case where two people got married, he was a dentist, she a hygeniest masters in health, teaching certification. She was such a bitch she couldn't get along with the people in his office so he couldn't allow her to work there AND of course what other dentist in town would hire another dentists wife...What stopped her from taking advantage of her masters in health??? They had two children but there was a time when the kids were in school and she could have worked but she did not. Well after the kids were out of high school he left her and of course she cried that not only should she get half of everything but she should get alimony...she now gets 9,000 a month I believe it lasts for 10 years from the date they got divorced unless she gets married.

 

This just doesn't seem right too me...AND even though they are divorced and she lives in another town, she still doesn't work...her choice, just like when they were married.

Don't get married. Live free or die.

 

Problem solved.

In the words of SUGARFREE:

 

 

Sheeet, ain't no pussy good enough for me to split half my shit

I wouldn't give a squirt of piss to save a broke bitch

Gimme this, gimme that, do you got, can I have,

that's all I hear bitch I'll beat your ass

I bet I'll never hear a bitch say she's broke

as long as she's got some pussy with some ass and a deep-throat

Well spoken. In fact here is a story from a guy on the mancoat forum:

 

I posted some details about this on the alimony thread but this deserves its own litte rant.

 

I know a man who has his own business. He owns a full assorment or vehicles and trucks to support his business which is pest control and lawn maintenance. If you see his facility you would see he is pretty big time. He has a full mechancial and repair shop and everything.

 

In fact he owns the entire city block his business is on.

 

He pays himself a salary of 12,000 a month.

 

His divorce was finalized last week. He has to pay her 6,000 a month alimony for the rest of her life.

 

Thats half of his salary. Plus if he gives himself a raise she can take him to court and get more. Before the divorce was finalized he was already paying 4,000 a month.

 

After paying all of his bills on the stuff owns he will have around 1,000 a month left for himself. He has to keep paying on his RV and stuf like that.

 

For someone who owns a entire city block to have only 1,000 bucks to spend is outrageous. Plus if he tries to pay himself more the bitch can get even more if she somehow finds out about it. So he's stuck in this shit.

 

This is a prime example of what a woman can do to you and why you NEVER marry them.

 

He has warned me of such many many times.

 

ANYTIME I BEGIN TO FEEL SORRY FOR A WOMEN OVER ANYTHING I WILL REMEMBER THIS SHIT HERE AND SNAP MYSELF OUT OF IT.

 

Fuck women and all their fucking problems.

 

Scary.

[RoyalOrleans]

Well spoken.

 

Given all the fucking givens, marriage isn't itself an evil. Still, it is a road I've been down twice and never will I travel it again.

 

Again, I say "Live free or die!".

So, it's not better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all?

[RoyalOrleans]

So, it's not better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all?

 

It's better to just lose. I've loved many women and I've lost them on purpose.

[Outlaw2747]

Basically marriage isn't for everyone. In my view it isn't held with the honor and repsect it was meant to have. Now it is all about who gets what and when. Fuck that. No alimony for me (although I hear there is none on Pennsylvania). Marriage these days seem like a death trap. Take that guy's story for example. Making $12,000 and only having a $1000 for himself. That is ridiculous.

[Lethalfind]

Man, that was some expensive pussy...

 

all I can say is PRENUP...

 

She should have to get a job and support herself...pure and simple.

[snafu]

She comes in penniless but now because she is used to a better life style that you provided while married you are required to continue supplying her with the new found life style?

 

 

Bullshit!!
