In my divorce, I refused to pay alimony. Not even the 1$ a year noose they like to use. I swore that I dwould fight until every last cent was gone and told the lawyers (mine and hers) they wouldn’t ever get paid if they pushed the issue any further, and the issue was dropped and Inever heard another peep about it during the remaining proceedings.

I find it hard to believe a judge could make such a ruling without consent of the payer, and if they do make such rulings, i find it hard they survive the ride home. This shit is insane!

I have a friend who just got a divorce after 12 years in Arizona. She did not work the whole marriage, except for the few years before they had the kids. (3)

She get half time with the kids. $300 a month or so in child support. And for two years, she gets about the same in spousal maintenance. Her lawyer told her she was VERY lucky to get the spousal maintenance as she doesn't see that very often any more.

I suppose a lot depends on the state.

I laughed myself silly when some guy took a chain saw to his house so the X wouldn’t get it went to jail with a smile on his face,,,, most divorce’s are started by the woman, the one that wants the divorce should get nothing....male or female...with an acception for physical violence against the partner or drug abuse..In that case with evidence to back up physical abuse, ie: hospital records the abuser should lose everything...

No argument here.

lack of consequences has emboldened many a jurist.

Ditto ..... They couldn't believe every penny would stop and I'd go to prison over alimony.
