Because divorce reminds me how bs love is. Again like I said a bunch of times child support is a no brainer I think the spouse not living with the child should pay more but alimony is plain unfair in most cases because even when no kids are involved men have to pay. What sucks most is that women normally get custody and you are allowed to bound and be there for the most formative years of your childs life when many men are lucky to get every other weekend and not only do you want money for the kids but you want money for you too. That's just plain injustice in my book.

You do realize by now that you're ranting to the choir, right?

I think pretty much every woman here has gone on record as being anti-alimony
 
Also, I personally think that "every other weekend" to a parent that *wants* to be involved is abusive. Abusive to the parent, and to the kid.

Really? Because JC and Espy seemed to think differently based on the idea that being the primary caregiver would cost them more.

I do believe you are correct Chi. I think it's time for me to 'tap out' before I get any more irritated.

Clearly you and I are not on the same page. I wasn't saying you should be compensated for raising your own children. I have always said that I DO NOT agree with alimony, if the custodial parent needs child support to provide for the children, then I have no problem with that. But marrying someone should NOT make you responsible for supporting them for the rest of their life after the marriage ends.

Well too bad I didn't 'tap out' first. You know I like you Andrae, and I actually generally agree with your POV, but you're just being plain dense if you honestly think I would ever approve of alimony. I have NEVER said anything other than that I am 100% opposed to it. I said that the primary caregiver clearly bears more of the costs, however where the hell did I say I would expect help with that? I did not. I was simply acknowledging the fact that Jordan had brought up, but at no point did I state I felt entitled to anything based upon that.

So let me be real plain for you. I raise my children, with no financial assistance from anyone, and I'm fine with that. Yes I will bear 100% of the responsibility for raising them, but at no point would I expect anything from anyone else to offset that.
