So you get married in CA. Let's say you're married for 8 years. You owe her alimony for half as many years as you were married. Married 4 years? You pay alimony for 2. What happens if married over 10 years?
You will pay alimony forever, or until she gets married, but where's her incentive to get married at that point?
How is this justified? |

Dude alimony and child support laws are fucked up all over the country. The whole system needs overhauled. Alimony should be abolished IMO. U are a god damn adult take care of ur fucking self. If there aren't kids involved then it should just be splitting assets and debt and two adults going their separate ways.

It's fuckin nuts. Got a friend that got divorced, 2 kids. Shit went bad. He now pays her dead beat ass child support and alimony. Alimony for the next three years. He might make about 60-75k a year and he pays $2800 a month.
She just bought a new car. A BMW (3 series I think). He's got a Camry |

Who is responsible? Well I'm glad you asked. Most divorce laws were structured way back when women were generally homemakers, and did not work. They were written up mostly by men. |

So yes, with all the feminist empowerment bullshit that has been huge since the 90's, divorce laws desperately need a major overhaul. |

MM seems to believe the alimony laws are archaic as well and told me that she wouldn't want my money if we got divorced. I was like, yea right. I do one thing you get pissed off about I'll be in court. She was like 'nooooo.'
We kept talking and I said something that riled her up and without hesitation she was like "I understand now." |
