You are not right! ROFLMAO

To refresh your memory: "All I got is hard dick and bubble gum and I just gave away my last stick, know where I'm coming from?"

Ches - this is not directed at you, just a little trip down hip-hop memory lane that the conversation reminded me of.

I believe the children have that right, but not the spouse. I've said this before on other threads, but unless the wife was barred from working, she should not get alimony. It should only be compensation for lost wages for the period she missed working, not a lifetime engagement.

Are there states that award alimony for life? In PA, since I was married 10 years, I would've only been eligible for 3 yrs alimony. As it was, I accepted child support which my ex and I negotiated because the courts would never have awarded me enough. I hadn't worked during our marriage because of his career. And even with good support, we didn't live high on the hog and I'm still struggling. Considering that he destroyed our marriage and famiily, the least he could do was see to it that we were taken care of financially, imo.

The kids yes you not so much. Divide the assets and call it a day. Basically a lot of women want retroactive and repairation pay. This is why I can never stress enough women have your own career. Rely on no one.

If a guy is rich, I agree that his kids should live the same way and be comfortable. I don't believe the financial settlement should be based on right/wrong considerations, though. The old standard for alimony was until she re-marries, and if not, then indefinitely. However, as society trends toward being more equal, that is being changed in many states to a formula based on how many years of work a woman missed out on due to staying home with the kids. If a guy makes a woman stay at home, then in my opinion he should pay. But I don't think anyone should be allowed to just skip work indefinitely because their spouse has money.

LOL, my wife recently went back to work after 11 years of being at home. That was our plan together from the very beginning when we got married, it worked great for us and we feel it was a great gift that benefited our kids. That being said, my wife was still able to pursue her Masters degree, so when she wanted to go back to work she would have more options (and sure enough it made the difference for her in her recent hiring), and, with my help, learned all about stock, currency, and futures trading so on her own time she could continue to contribute to the financial bottom line during those 11 years, even though she was not working. So there are ways for a stay at home spouse to advance themselves and contribute even when they are the primary care giver.

I couldn't have a career. We never lived anywhere long enough to warrant it. We also lived in base housing most of our marriage. No home to sell. My life, as I knew it, was done. And then I had the task of finding a job after being out of the workforce for 10 years.

When people get married, most of us believe that "our" marriage will last. "Our" love will endure. You're not prepared for the messiness and heartache of diivorce.

Loki that shit is as rare as a diamond in a pigs but my friend. You lucked out. Most women I've encountered would want to stay home forever.

Well I'm sorry Ches it sucks. Sounds like a bad choice your kids can learn from. I don't care how much I think I love someone I would never sacrafice making income unless it was some rare weird situation like my wife was an athlete or we had a sick child and I was better equipped to take care of them for some reason.
I guess one of the reasons I don't buy into happily ever after. Its grind all day so you can sleep well at night for me.

That's a beautiful illustration of teamwork in marriage. Congrats to you and your wife, Loki. I, too, think it benefits the children if a parent can stay at home with them.
