I worked at the same place as a guy who went through the company’s training program to be a welder. He had a J.D. degree (I saw the actual degree). Said he would have had to pay his ex-wife a fortune if he remained a lawyer and he wasn’t going to give her the satisfaction.
I had Uber driver who sad he was doing it to pay less alimony. I think she was eventually getting remarried.
Even THAT doesn’t work. Here in NY they IMPUTE how much you COULD be making.
