Long overdue
22 years late for me. $3000 a month for 6 years ... 12 years marriage no kids
It does seem absurd that the responsibilities of only the higher earning spouse are assumed to survive divorce. Why isn’t the higher-earning spouse entitled to having the lower-earning come over and do the laundry or cut the lawn, or whatever they did while the two were married? Why does only that one expectation survive?
Yes. Because men are passed over in the hiring process. Men are denied college admission. Men get the mortgage and the alimony payments. Wife gets the house and the kids. And the dog.
wow. You must have had a good job :)
Holy cow, I wish I’d divorced you! Three thousand bucks a month when she didn’t have to stay home and take care of babies—that’s amazing. Why couldn’t I work out a deal like that? ;-)
I was a checkout clerk at Lucky stores. She was a branch manager for an escrow company
oh I’m sorry I misunderstood. I thought you had to give 3000 a month. I’m not the brightest freeper. Maybe I should quit while I’m ahead
My ex-husband & I split our house. He got the outside and I got the inside.
I did have to give
Two things you never hear feminists talk about when they yap about equality: Alimony and registering for the draft.
wow. That sounds like a lot. 22 years ago geez.
43% pre-tax
good Lord! No wonder why they’re able to make so many one hour crime documentaries on divorce murders. either because the guy doesn’t want to pay or because the woman wants the insurance. 43% wow.
Aside from the issue does anyone find it disconcertinv that you have to get permission from a bureaucrat before collecting signatures?
You have to get permission from the bureaucrats for marriage, driving a car, starting a business, and a whole list of other activities.
It's always cheaper to just have her bumped off.
