[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 622598, member: 1550"] Lastly, I'm going to address the issue of alimony here in the US. Most women don't get it, but if they put their careers on hold to raise their kids they sure as hello do deserve alimony. Many put their husands through college and then said husband leaves for younger model and wants to leave woman broke. Sorry, but in Europe the government is much more willing to hand out money to the citizens than here. I'm not judging whether that is good or bad, but it is what it is. And not all women are equally educated or ready to work full time and make a good enough living just because Husband Jerko runs off. We tend to handle things privately and even a liberal thinker like me, prefers the government STAY OUT OF OUR LIVES as much as we can manage to do things privately. Now if divorced women gets money for being a single parent, like I know they do in some European countries, of course an ex husband shouldn't have to pay alimony. Makes no sense. We here in the US are big believers in doing the best we can ourselves. We don't want the government making decisions for us that are none of their business. So there are differences here. Trust me, there are things we see in other countries we think are crazy too. Like it puzzles me that the government can pass a law insisting that you include even horrible children in one's will...I think that should be up to the person writing the will. It's merely cultural differences. Every place is different, which causes us to have to do things differently. [/QUOTE]
