Why does a man owe a woman a monthly check for the rest of her life if they divorce?

I fully agree; just an upscale version of welfare and if being married to man in question is so horrible, why maintain the attachment.

He doesn’t...Williams just ‘chose’ not to carry out other options available....like get a new attorney!

Why does a man owe a woman a monthly check for the rest of her life if they divorce?

There are cases where that makes sense. If a woman sacrifices equally in the lean years, she should profit equally in the good years.

A good example is when a wife takes on a job (or two) to put her husband through medical school. The wife puts her own career aside to further her husband's career.

Later the husband is a successful doctor, and there is a divorce. Shouldn't the wife get a share of her ex-husband's income?

That is a conundrum isn't it? Women are always hollering to be "treated as equal as men" yet they feel entitled to be supported by men.

Why do taxpayers owe every public employee a check for the rest of their lives after they leave office (elected, appointed, or city/state pension)?
