[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 622629, member: 1550"] Thanks, Sig. You explained it better. It is not really possible to talk about alimony without knowing what you have pointed out. I think some look at their own country and apply what makes sense to people who live in their own countries as making equal sense for Americans. It's like comparing apples and oranges. Of course, the US is always under fire from people elsewhere, but we are used to that. I believe most European countries give stipends to single parents, pay for daycare, of course they pay for healthcare so that is not an issue, and their kids, come college age, also get money in some places. It is different when you are doing it yourself.As far as I know, it is usually granted to stay-at-home moms or those who make very little. I didn't get it when I divorced, and I was married seventeen years. I had a job at the time, but much less $$$ than ex. Still, I did have a job. It's not like everyone is supported in royal fashion by ex husbands nor should they be. I agree that alimony is usually and should be limited to give the woman a chance to get back on her feet, not for lifetime support. And it's not. And you have to have been married long term to even qualify for it. [/QUOTE]
