Alimony is a penalty for wrong doing.

“Alimony is a penalty for wrong doing.”

That statement is as ignorant as any I have heard on Free Republic.

An abject lack of understanding, on purpose.

Another girl who wants to preserve alimony, but cloaks it in religion.

My ex didn’t get alimony because I didn’t do anything wrong.

In my state there has to be a proven wrong in order to get alimony.

What state, and what year?

In MOST states now, alimony is awarded based purely upon income disparity.

They call it by several names, but the IRS treats it all the same.

Every divorce situation is different. There is no way I could contribute to a solution.

Perhaps a counselor, pastor, priest could be of help.

“There is no way I could contribute to a solution.”

Somebody who cannot or will not take a definitive position cannot contribute to a solution to any problem.

That’s a certain axiom.

North Carolina makes allowance for Marital Misconduct.

But that’s probably the only state. How much credence the current judiciary gives such nowadays is suspect.

Yep - got divorced while in AF and wife had been around long enough to have “earned part of my retirement”. Initially, they took her share out after my taxes so I was paying the taxes and she was getting a net sum. Some years ago, they changed it so they take her share out pre-taxes so she pays the taxes instead of me — since it’s part of an enlisted military “retirement”, there’s really not much difference either way....

Yeah, that’s one guy. The person I responded to made it seem like every divorced father is a jerk.

“Insipid means DUUL and tasteless - like the thinking behind your post. It fits. It’s you that GAS a limited comprehension.”

“DUUL & GAS.” I rest my case! You can’t even spell the most basic descriptors even with the “outside help” of spell check. My bet is that you are getting some “outside help” with your spelling from the “good $hit” in your bong, or the Harvey’s Bristol Creme is going down the hatch at a prodigious rate. My “limited comprehension” tells me you are a person of “limited intellect.” Oh, and your punctuation needs some “attention” too. I see you’re in Connecticut, so it all becomes clear now. In the list of $hit hole states, CT is at the top. Living there is only slightly better than being a Masshole from next door Massoftwoshitts. My wife has a cousin who is a “professor” at Central CT U. We don’t speak to him because he’s a self-absorbed, fatuous idiot like you.

There should be a paternity test for every baby born.

There should also be a guarantee that no man is required to pay child support for a child who is not their genetic daughter or son.
