A lady I knew was incensed when she learned she would have to pay alimony to her ex-husband. She made significantly more than he did.
Rare circumstance but becoming a bit more common. Would love for it to become very common - you might get real alimony reform in more places.
My daughter had to pay alimony of $3500/month for 10 months to her cheating, alcoholic ex-husband. He had a good job til he married her, at which time he promptly quit his job. Oh, she also had to pay his parents back for money THEY borrowed from them to put down on a house, which she got stuck with having to make payments on. And no child support, since they share custody of their child. The Ex went and lived with mommy and daddy for 5 years, while my daughter worked her tail off, sold the house (which he had had bugged), and eventually bought a better one with money that she, alone, earned. And guess who gets to pay for their child’s private school, now that her neighborhood school is pushing CRT and all kinds of other progressive crap? NOT him. He has the education and ability to make just as much money as my daughter, but none of the drive and determination she has.

Did you stay on friendly terms? For the kids, I mean.

So *that* explains your attitude. 🤪
