>>512170605 (OP)desu alimony never made any fucking sense to me.
Like the literal reason given for alimony is:
>The primary reasons for alimony are to address economic disparities between spouses and to ensure that one spouse can maintain the lifestyle they enjoyed during the marriage....
>can maintain the lifestyle>they enjoyed during the marriage.fucking what?
Like imagine going to your boss, quitting your job, and then say... "oh right, while i DID quit my job and I no longer work here, I have already grown accustomed to my current lifestyle and want to maintain it so you have to continue giving me my monthly paycheck."
Huuhhh???
TF is that logic?
If you quit your job, your situation obviously drastically chances, and you have to adjust your lifestyle to your new financial reality. Thats just how this works,
So if a woman "quits her job" as a housewife, her situation obviously drastically chances, and she has to adjust her lifestyle to her new financial reality.
Like child support, I fully get that, if she takes care of the brats full time, that hinders her ability to make a living of her own, she needs to either take care of the kids or hire a babysitter, and thus deserves some financial compensation for that.
But if there are no kids involved? Or custody is split 50/50? Why the fuck would she get a single fucking cent? It just doesn't make sense to me.
