If a wife earns more than her husband and there is a divorce, is it right for him to demand 'palimony'? What do you thinK?dunno confused
Some husbands ask the courts to issue a ruling that makes it mandatory for the ex-wife to pay an allowance to them every month for the rest of their lives or until they remarry.

I think it all depends on the situation. Very hard to answer without all the facts. But no it should not be automatic.

Whats good for the goose is good for the gander. If a woman can ask for it..then a man should as well.

I don't think men or women should be entitled to receive alimony
after a divorce., and all assets acquired after the marriage was consummated should be split 50/50. The only ones that should be provided well for are the children. Unfortunately it doesn't always work that way and divorce judges and courts can be very biased and unfair. mumbling professor

Well, I think that for persons who were homemakers it would be fair but the allowance should stop once they are gainfully employed.

A lot of people make money under the table after a divorce so to speak and don't report it. And some live off other people and use the poor ex's money for fun. I could go on and on on this subject, but prefer not too, all I can say is I've been there, done that and also seen a lot of other cases where people have been screwed over by divorce courts who don't even care about the reality of the situation or bother to investigate the allegations to find out the real truth, and to add to that Lawyers suck also, don't even get me started on them.... very mad frustrated

I dont think either party should get anything beyond child support to the parent the children reside with.

thumbs up

Indeed- If one deserves it, the other should deserve it in the same scenario.

The same cause could be made that neither of them deserve it.

At least they're both fair options.

No, community property here is considered by law, any assets that are aquired after the marriage, and are supposed to be divided equally, for instance if we bought a house together after we were married, it could be bought out by one party or the other and 1/2 the market value at the time be paid to the one opting out or if an agreement cannot be reached then it should be put on the market for sale then the proceeds or equity would be divided 50/50, but it doesn't always seem to work that way. Also laws vary from state to state.

To pay. thumbs up

For child support

and

support for an ex-spouse who gave up their carrier/employment to be a homemaker. Until they are gainfully and securely employed.

Nothing beyond that.
