If you have someone at home, you don't have to wory about getting to daycare before they close to pick up the kids. You have time to do the political, after hours thing at work.

I do think Stay-at-home parents deserve better in a divorce because without their hlep (in most instances), the working parent wouldn't have gotten as far in their job.

Maybe I should have mentioned that while I was pregnant He was out of work and I supported him for a whole year. While he was working and taking night classes, I was not just taking care of the children.. I ran a successful daycare out of my home and spent my earnings paying off our debt. That job was from 7am-7pm.

Then you have to accept the results of the choices you made don't you?

The grass is always greener. I wish I had been able to stay home with my kids while my husband worked and spend that time with them. But we couldn't afford for me to stay home. I had to work the entire length of the marriage, and missed out on a lot with our children.

It sucks he didn't live up to his end of the bargan when he promised that once he was done with school you could go to school. But on the other hand, you got to spend that time with your children, which is something I never had.

My opinion (since you asked) is that alimony is a direct violation of the 13th ammendment of the US constitution and if you want your husband to remain an involuntary slave to you (he was for 2 years) you should live in a country that does not afford individual freedom to it's citizens.

Personally my ex left me for a much younger man than herself(barely out of high school) but that's irrelavant to the courts in my state.

My alimony lasted 6 months during and will go 18 months after the divorce. I have 11 months left of slavery to my ex [censored] of a wife. You must understand that the free money you get is not free at all, it comes at the cost of your ex's freedom. The sooner it ends, the sooner you and my ex can become adults and stop acting like children on some kind of "child support for useless women in their 30's"

Children are expected to become self supporting at the age of 18 (at least legally) and are simultaniously given the right to vote at that age. Women in their 30's who cannot meet the same level of responsibility of an 18 year old should defer their legal right to vote until such time that they become legally independent human beings. Their votes should be given to the man supporting them, and he should therefore have 2 votes as long as he is responsible for 2 human lives.

Your wifey left you?? You sound terribly bitter. And if she left you why is she getting alimony?? That is so wrong.
Anyway.. Hope you didn't hurt your fingers in that hostile reply. Take some anxiety meds, talk to a counselor, you have my prayers.
