Due to my age I assume I did not get interviews. Had I gotten interviews I think I would have done quite well.
Yes you can get a starter job and there is no shame in that.
However if you are the innocent spouse in a divorce it is not fair to you.
You get half the assets ok.
Now hubs can continue to work his $90,000 a year job and you can start as a bank teller for $25,000.
This is not right.
All I am saying is a judge needs to look at the whole story and that sometime lifetime alimony is fair. Not all the time.
But on lifetime alimony, again that makes no sense. If a divorcee stayed married, he would only work and contribute till 62 to the marriage on average while getting something from that relationship. Why should you add another 20-30 years to retirement beyond what they would while married. Doesn’t make any sense as you wouldn’t have come close to that in the marriage.
