Striper wife needs Spousal Support
      #509405 - 03/04/09 09:56 AM

My wife was a stripper in CA when she sent me back to college for 4 years, paid off both our cars and paid 30K down payment of our home in GA. She is now 48 yrs. old, a high school drop out and can't even pass a GED. We have no children and have been married for 11 years. After my graduation, we moved in GA and I landed a good job making 80K. She continued stripping for another year and quit to get her GED but failed. In 2006-2007 she got an office job making 21K but got laid off after 1 yr. and can't fine a job until now. I don't want her being at home and only spending my money.
My question is, can she demand a SS? Me and my sister who visited me here, we both tried to kicked her out of my house but she doesn't want to move out because her reason is that she paid the downpayment and it is her house.
Second question is, She have her own savings account without my name included, if she moves out and use her savings for her expenses can I get 50/50 from the original amount that was in the savings account when my divorce is finalize? Example, her total savings account is 100K by the time the divorce is finalize, the balance is only 20K, can I claim the 50% of the original amount of 100K? Thanks for your advice.

she may be a stripper or was but you are certainly coming off as more uneducated.

you are going to be on the hook for opening your tight wallet now. your wife can also possibly recoup the $30k she plopped down on that fine GA home before the value is split if the arguement is made strongly enough.

welcome to the world of alimony.

Let's see.

(1) She worked and helped you get a degree;
(2) With that degree you gained a decent job earning $80,000 per year;
(3) She is 48 and can not earn much as dancer at this point;
(4) She has limited education and few decent work prospects;
(5) She had a job recently making only $21,000, but was fired;
(6) You have been married 11 years.

That sounds like a strong case for spousal support if I ever heard one

And a big one. He has her stripping so he can go to college and now that he graduated and she is getting long in the tooth, especially to be a stripper, he wants to leave her with nothing. Nope..aint going to happen

To OP. Pay her in $1 bills, like she is used to and be prepared to pay her a LOT

The law says, any good samaritan can be sued. Therefore, when she helped me get my degree and so on, it is not my faults. She did it voluntarily during the time when my life was in jeopardy. I had a manic depression, don't like life, I almost killed myself and don't have friends when I met her. She changed all that and help me get through life. Considering she is a good samaritan by rescuing me from my misery but it was voluntary. Therefore, it was her faults. I can choose how I want to live my life. If she doesn't like being scream at everyday when I come home for not getting a job, then she should leave and I should not be responsible for her life when she does leave. She will be force to find a job then. This is just my defends if we ever go to court but will let you know and I can promise you, I will win!

First, good samaritan laws have absolutely nothing to do with anything in this post. That makes no sense.

Second, you have a greater earning capacity because of sacrifices she made during the marriage to her income and career. That means spousal support is possible.

Third, her limited earning capacity and the length of the marriage make spousal support very likely.

Fourth, I would see if you can get back some of that money for your education, because your grammar is terrible.


You don't have much of a defense and, without a lawyer, you certainly have no ability to present one.

(Anyone else getting the impression this is just "Stuckinarut" with a new identity and a new fable?)

this probably is Stuck now that the stupidity of this person is becoming more apparent. Stuck is such a loser he will come up with any post to keep the attention focused on him.
this is why sterilization should be mandatory.

Thanks for your feedback. I maybe considering her offer which is, 30K, my CTSV Cadillac that I just bought for myself and the savings that she has now which she claims was her savings before I met her.

Do you think if I can prove it to the judge that I was mentally ill, got in trouble and went to jail for a couple of months, would help me not paying the SS? Considering that it was an illness that causes me to be unhappy and my wife helped me go through with life and wanted me to live to the fullest, will the judge consider it for me not paying a SS because of my illness? Will my situation be the same as those who have killed another person because of her/his mental illness and this person avoid a life sentence but going to the mental facility instead? If all else....

The law is unfair because she helped me for a total of 5 years before I got this job. After I got my degree, I've worked for the last 6 years so that means we're even. Now that we're even, she should fine a job and makes at least half of what I make regardless of her educational background. She is still fit and healthy I don't see why she can't find a job.
