China, she turned 40 and said I was boring. Of course all my married years she wanted me home at night, which didn't bother me, kids were busy with extracurricular stuff anyway. BTW I think I am boring from not being out with the guys, but I can live with myself.

I can see paying alimony for a SHORT period of time while the ex gets on her/his feet.. but dayummmmmmm if they can't do this in 6 months or so.. they are just plain lazy and enjoying the free ride

I think there are a lof of what ifs in this question. My ex didn't want me to have a job outside of the house. I took care of all the billing for our trucking company, took care of kids, animals, an acreage on all of the bills. The day that he was home a wk he worked on his semi.....Are you telling me because I got tired of taking second place to a semi and not being able to have a life...... I deserve nothing in my divorce because I filed. That is crazy. I did just as much work as he did only I didn't get a paycheck for it. I didn't even get one day a wk off work. I think every situation should be evaluated and taken into account before anyone jumps to any decision. I had more before I married him than I did when I left. I didn't ask for alimony, but I damn well deserved it if I would have wanted it.JMO

I'm not saying that no one should get alimony. I am saying, however, that the laws stick it to the men big time. Of course, the spouse should receive some assistance until he/she gets on her feet.. but he/she needs to stand up, take responsibility and get a job like everyone else.. and not sit on their a** and feed off the ex for a lengthy amount of time

Don't get me wrong, she didn't feed on me (Other than 1/2 of shit) but I supported ( Mentally and monetarily) everything she wanted to do. This gets back to why should I get married again I guess. I love the company of a good woman, nothing like it. But who's to stop the next one from saying C YA!

I agree with you [blocked site], sometimes that isn't always the easiest thing to do. I was fortunate enough to already have my job lined out because I new I wanted out. I made sure before I left that I could take care of my girls and myself with out him. Where I live though there are not the high paying jobs for women. It is tough to make enough money alone. 6mths in not enough time. Do you realize that you can't even buy a house with out two current years of work history? I mean it isn't that easy to get on your feet when the whole time you have been married you have had them knocked out from under you. I could have gotten over 2000 a month if I had taken alimony and child support, but didn't because peace with my exhusband was more important, but it did mean that I am going to struggle for longer than six months to get my feet on the ground. Like I said all situations are different.

But I didsn't do this [blocked site]! Someone else left that bad taste in my mouth. What would you do if you were me? Don't get me wrong, I'm certainly not perfect by any means, but this was a major decision. And they say buying a house is the most financial decision you'll ever make, BS!

I understand Steak! If I had everything and my ex got as much of it as alot of women do.. I'd be pissed too! But.. not every marriage is like that.. not every divorce is like that. If it happened to me.. I would be even more mistrusting that I am now.. but, I would hope that love would prevail. Damn me for being who and what I am lol I am so naive.. I know.. Ya can shoot me now ( SIGH)

In some states like massachusetts..alimony is based on amount of years
married and if the spouse is at a low level of income, meaning, if she
never worked, had limited social security coming in, etc, alimony in this
states averages 30 to 35 percent of adjusted income,
