"...in todays world, in which women have fought for the right to equality, alimony seems more like a kid getting an allowance from daddy and I believe it should be abolished altogether except for extremely dire circumstances where a spouse is older, cannot work at all, and for only a short term period. No man or woman should be held to being a slave to an ex-spouse after a marriage ends. That said, if we are going to have alimony laws, I believe that men and women should be held to an equal standard under the law."

you appear as a "crazy parrot-lady", sort of like a crazy cat-lady but with birds.
hmmm... you sound like a bitter divorced guy with a chip on his shoulder. LOL
Here’s your reality. Which partner initiates after the kids are grown? completely different than who initiates when kids and custody and child support is an issue. The government provides a huge financial and independence incentive to the women to gain custody and then be rewarded by child support which is owed her, and not the kids. So these cases dominate.(Republicans gave feminists the loaded gun against the family with this one.)
I bet middle age women with no skills do not regularly initiate divorce after running the family , and kids are grown. It’s too much of a disincentive. I am interested if you have proof.
...thing is...nobody has EVER said that! You're the first & only one!
'nuther feeble attempt by you najida. Give it up.
and don’t confuse calling BS what it is, with hating others...different matter entirely.
I don't hate anyone. I hate sin, but not people...and certainly not women!
Let's review the facts najida...
I posted on this thread for one purpose...to agree that men get the raw deal most of the time. I made that point as many others have also. And the Facts stand nijada. You have merely interpreted, based upon our "feelings", that when a man says the courts take advantage of them that in your ears sounds like a bashing of women. And THERE is the plain evidence of the chip on your shoulder that filters your rage! You see and hear these topics through your brokenness, so they all sound like critical statements about you persoanlly, or against women in general. But let's face it nijada...I commented on THE COURTS...NOT WOMEN! THE COURTS screw men njiada. It is the fact of the matter.
I have also stated compassion here for those have been hurt, be they male or female and further quoted Christ, who stated that it was "never meant to be that way". Sin and sinful people are the real problem. But so too is unforgiveness.
Incidental to all this...I was reminded of an incident from a few years back and related it to everyone and noone in particular.
Interestingly enough, you grabbed onto my post as though it was a lure awaiting your bite!
Know why?
Becuase you saw yourself in the story that I told!
I accused you of nothing but you applied the story to your personal life and internalized it, then reacted to it.
Never react!
Always act!
All things said and done, you still sound like an angry person!
Hope you get over that.
You'll live a happier life.
Best wishes.
Intended sincerely.
So...I've made my points and now I'm done with this thread and my joy remains intact.
Besides...there's some hotties outside the office that I need to go make a move upon...Ho HO HO...Oh BABY!...COME TO PAPA!
...ok that last sentence was just some humor to stir you up najida...lol...no re-acting now...smile!
...Merrry Christmas Everyone!
LMAO
thanks
Bless you too!
You are totally mistaken. It does happen in the US.
That would be awful. But saying it happens does not mean it happens. (no offense)
And as for apocryphal (sp?) stories like this, I can come up with several too. Oh wait, I am living one!
Merry Christmas Woollyone and Najida.
Sounds like a good case for arbitration based on stare decisis principles
When one wants to enjoy being confrontational they might want to begin looking in a mirror.
oh i see. be nice and get her sucked in again and then BAM!
Excuse me, I have anything else to do.
Madam, you cannot possibly understand what a kangaroo court the family courts have become since you are the beneficiary from such things.
I, on the other hand, have no rights to determine what I will or will not provide for my children. That decision, is made by the courts, state legislature, and other agencies.
If the tables were turned on you, and you had to pay 50% of your after tax income in Child Support(like I do) and other related costs as determined by said kangaroo court, without any accounting for where and how that money was spent, you would be singing a different tune.
I can see reasons, don’t think I can’t, but I’m wondering, if she can’t be trusted to raise your children, why’d you marry her?
Oh. Do you wear Depends??
I have skills of which you know nothing. Although it’s not from lack of offering to show you said skills, now, is it.
Sour grapes
I was not doubting you. But merely seeing this story on the ‘net doesn’t mean it happened, or that it happened just this way.
Let’s say this: I HOPE it didn’t happen. Maybe it did. I hope not, it’s just awful.
Until the Gynocracy is overthrown, alimony will always be with us.
