Hi Wendy! It just surprises me that the law doesn't see the amount of years a wife/SAHM/sometimes working of a long term marriage has put into it. Alimony is like a pension, to me, and one can do anything you like with a pension. Also, why would it be fair for a new bf or h to support you? It's not likely that you will be able to start a new family, and have that type of M. I agree if it's a short M of a few years, maybe under 12 years? What if your new M doesn't work out, then you not only have lost your alimony, but also any hope of having a decent one from the new M. Am I making sense here?
Gosh! This is so complicated for women. So unfair. I have no intention of allowing myself get into a man's clutches again. You lose yourself in the R, at least, I did.
