Which state was she certified insane in? In which court? Does she qualify for SSI? Who takes care of her affairs? How did she "lie" about not being able to work? If she is insane as you claim, she would not be able to work, would she?
and that is what I agree with, split it 50-50, then go the hell away...
Odd.. that wasn't at all what you said just a bit ago. What you were saying then was: depends on who initiates the divorce....if the woman wants out of the marriage, then get out and make it on your own
That is far, far different than 50-50. Which is it?
Nobody deserves a portion of another's earnings. Slavery is intolerable. Alimony is a crime against humanity (and no, I'm not divorced, nor has there ever even been a divorce in my family).
It's clear your feminism is distorting your otherwise conservative views. Fact remains: alimony - for a man or a woman - is a violation of rights to one's own property and the fruits of one's labor.
