Quote HistoryQuoted:
in a lot of states, the judge won't fall for that, and state laws allow the judge to impute income to the payor based on the payor's ability to earn. Men try that all the time in child support cases and the court says "nice try, keep paying." Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
I know a guy who gave up his professional state licensing, necessary to work in his field, took a $100k+/yr pay cut and started delivering pizzas to support himself, just so they'd have to refigure his alimony. He already lived a smaller rent house that was paid off he got in the divorce when his ex got the main residence... that she could never pay off the mortgage without his money. He said there was no way he was going to work his ass off in a professional field just so his ex could sit on her ass all day. If he was going to have to work the rest of HIS life, so was she. Sometimes "scorched earth" means you have to burn your field too.

Quoted:
Alimony is indentured servitude. Typically you have to pay alimony for half the duration of the marriage. In my case, married for 30 years so that will be 15 years. I'm 57 now, so that will mean working until I am 72 to pay off the alimony. So let's face it, the rest of my life is fucked. No retirement. |

I was in the same trap - the ex getting permanent and periodic alamonity.
There were three outs - she could die, cohabitate contrary to state statues (live with some one), and or have income. I paid the bitch enough money I could have had my house paid off. When I lost my job and had some time on my hands - I re-opened up the divorce case - stated that she had income - SS disability income, and she was cohabiting. Got the alamonity BLOWN UP! The Fuck Up Governor of Florida had a bill on his desk that would have ended Permanent and Periodic Alimony - he refused to sign the bill into law....If he had you probably could have measured the ground shaking on the richter scale.

Fiance throws jabs at me constantly about what I pay my ex....... She just refuses to accept that I bit the bullet because I knew I could get screwed. I was married like 10 years almost to the day. So I ran the possibility of paying permanent alimony so I didn't want to fight in court and we came to an agreement. Gave up my house to keep my retirement and agreed to temp alimony and let her keep the kids the bulk of the time. I've paid and paid....
The results are that she squandered much of the child support. Alimony ended years ago ago and my first kid just turned 18. So her days are numbered.....he husband is working his ass off to keep them afloat as it is. It sucks when I think that I've paid her north of $300k over the years but my kids are good kids and I know that life is going to hurt for her down the road. |

If there's no fault, then why is he obligated to continue providing every month for a woman who is leaving him?

It depends on the state, but you can fight if you can prove your ex has the ability to support themselves. Also, if she remarries you’re off the hook and if you’re in a common law state of she shacks up with some, that would be cause to stop. You could also try to negotiate a lump sum payment.
You will be able to deduct from your income tax any alimony payments made to her and she has to claim as income. It sucks OP, best day was the last check to the ex. |

my childhood best friend's life was destroyed by alimony. Married this tramp. She was screwing other guys while they were dating. Got knocked up and he married her. Marriage lasted 1 year. Kid doesn't even look like him. She moved in with a colorful character, but never remarried of course. He never made a lot of money but enough to get by. She got all of it. When his parents died he got their house. Had to sell it to pay bills. Last I heard he was bouncing from couch to couch with no retirement in sight. Was the nicest guy in the world. Eagle Scout and all that. I offered to pay for med coverage but he wouldn't take it. Dropped off radar years ago.
She destroyed him. Even her parents were on his side. Didn't matter. She got everything. |

In the US men pay 99 percent of alimony, which is billions of dollars annually.
A lot of alimony-receiving women are not just lazy, but also stupid. A friend of mine was paying alimony and part of his pension to his ex-wife under court order. Then he died early into his retirement so the alimony and pension went away. Now his ex-wife is 67, she may live for another 20 years, and her sole income is half his social security and a small 401k. |

Did the OP's wife stay at home and raise the kids, keep the house, and make every meal? If so, does that not deserve support when things go south (not if she cheated of course). I am amazed at home many men here seem to view their wives as slaves, or second class citizens when things go bad in the marriage. One old neighbor who is dead now yelled at the judge during his divorce when the judge awarded her half the pension. He said "she did not work for that money, I did". The judge felt like I did that she spent 45 years taking care of the house, raising the kids, and putting up with his shit, and he was a shit to her. When the prick retired he did not take the pension with survivor benefits. He said it was his money and he wanted all of his pension, not a prorated amount to care for her after he died. Instead of the survivor benefits he took out a $100k insurance policy for her, he even tried to stop paying for it during the divorce but the judge told him not a chance. Prick died alone in Florida and his two surviving kids did not have a service for him because he did not have a single friend in the world. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
my childhood best friend's life was destroyed by alimony. Married this tramp. She was screwing other guys while they were dating. Got knocked up and he married her. Marriage lasted 1 year. Kid doesn't even look like him. She moved in with a colorful character, but never remarried of course. He never made a lot of money but enough to get by. She got all of it. When his parents died he got their house. Had to sell it to pay bills. Last I heard he was bouncing from couch to couch with no retirement in sight. Was the nicest guy in the world. Eagle Scout and all that. I offered to pay for med coverage but he wouldn't take it. Dropped off radar years ago. She destroyed him. Even her parents were on his side. Didn't matter. She got everything. |

So if 150 years ago there was a wife that had zero marketable skills and had aged out of child bearing had a husband who fucked around on her and beat her she should just cowboy up and deal with it? Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted: I disagree. I don’t think it ever made sense. Women should have strong financial disincentives from divorcing their spouse. The same should be true of having children out of wedlock as well. Reality can provide many disincentives... without involving third parties at all. |
