Re: Discussion - Alimony

05/06/07 01:18 PM

Alimony was okay until it began to be misused and utilzed as punishment, not as betterment to her life. Agree or not, that's how *I* feel about it. She did not use it to better her life, get a degree or a better job. She used it as a tool to hurt my husband and ultimately her own son when he came to live with us. She avoided marriage to keep it coming in and now she is going to marry some guy she has known 4 months because it is ending...she's a user. JMHO

One of my best friends got alimony after an 18 year marriage (She was a SAHM.) She went back to school and got a degree and is now a HS teacher making decent money. Her XH paid his alimony faithfully...he was ordered to pay for 9 years, she ended it ON HER OWN 3 years early after she got her degree and a good job. Now that's a situation that ended up fair.

As far as a 60, 70 or 80 year old person getting alimony. I did say, 1/2 the length of the marriage was fair in many cases. If you are dealing with a person who is 60, 70 or 80 and was in a long term marriage, most likely 1/2 the length of the marriage is going to be lifetime for him or her. :0)
