Legitimizing this arrangement as “marriage” is far worse than this one guy having to pay alimony that he agreed to in spite of knowing that she was in a relationship with another woman. He could and should have, put a provision in the settlement agreement ending alimony in case of cohabitation, marriage, or domestic partnership.

I wonder to what extent the lesbian economy in the US is fueled by alimony.

But consider what a beautiful way to hate men it is! Imagine having a check from some (spit) MAN come in every month, when you neither need nor want one!

...registered her new relationship under the state's domestic partnership law.

then the a-hole liberals who created this sodomite law either forgot, or on purpose left out the important clause, that would prevent this further travesty....

This sounds like the guy messed up and agreed to alimony in lieu of a property split. I don’t think he could get out of alimony even if she married another man.

You may be right. I am not a lawyer, and have never divorced. However, the same program supported both “Dissolutions with Children” and “Dissolutions without Children.”

Then you could participate in the same style relationship as your ex.

Not of your choosing of course....

This is just a simple case of wanting to have her cake pie and eat it too...

She’d never get a dime from me, regardless.

This guy’s lawyer is the one who screwed up and gave him bad advice.

My decree included “co-habitation or remarriage”. Blame your lawyer.

Exactly. The term I've seen is "entering into a meretricious relationship." That covers any living together with a sexual relationship, of any flavor.

Yes, but in California the alimony results from any disomaster run can be waived/negotiated. However, child support is going to be awarded, no matter what, assuming children are involved.

It’s an evil, sick, and depraved ruling.

Another end run for the gay crowd. The judge did right while the gays thought they had another court case like the one here in Tx to go around the law by making new laws without public consent or knowledge.

You are right. The judge should have initially ruled no alimony.

You are also absolutely correct that this is legalized de-facto for the gay crowd. I think the judge realized that.

In this case; it was the right ruling unless, of course, you want the gays to have legalized marriage with benefit of going through the system.

Ah. That actually makes sense. (I told you I was not a lawyer.)

giggle. It’s that Tx case that brought it to light or I wouldn’t have thought about it either except that this guy really did get shafted, unfortunately.

Btw, I have worked in a legal department for the last 11 years; not that that means anything; and it doesn’t. Because if people don’t know about the Tx case; who would put 2 and 2 together?

Thank God, maybe this judge understood this. Courts, especially judges do not like to be made fools of.

That did surprise me about alimony in CA, since they are I believe, a community property state which allows not alimoney; only child support.
