Sadly you are correct. No Fault divorce laws in most states actually force the husband to SUBSIDIZE his cheating wife’s adultery in many cases.
Watched my wifes sister run her marriage into the ground and pretty much destroy the life of her husband. Very women have earned their divorce as much as she did.
Husband was a successful and basically decent guy and good husband- just never near good enough in her eyes.
She got near six figure alimony in the divorce when she in truth deserved to be horse whipped for her disgusting and abusive behavior.
For nearly a decade husband had to watch her ignore their kids while she took the alimony and blew it riding around on the back of bad boys Harleys and spending her alimony treating a succession of toy boys who were up front that they had no interest in any relationship but were just in it for lavish, expensive road trips where she was paying the bills
No way was she going to get married and lose that gravy train
Pretty hard to take but he said it was worth 10 times the cost to get rid of her. Hes been very happily married now for quite some years and their kids are doing great
Shes not doing quite so well and their kids are a hot mess thanks to her neglect
Needless to say, her family still bad mouths the guy like he was the worst husband and biggest loser on earth.
His second wife strongly dissents and still feels like she won the lottery even after all the time they have been married
Moral of story
Our culture seems produce an excess of seriously immature, abusive and incredibly toxic members of both sex but that does not mean there are not still a lot of good people out there looking to rebuild their lives after having their lives uprooted and ruined by one of the toxic ones
