It's pretty ridiculous actually. Many men are driven to the poor house by their greedy ex wives. There needs to be more discretion and judgment in divorce cases, not just rigid statutes. I don't understand why some wives are entitled to half of their husbands earnings and assets when they did nothing to contribute to it.
EX: Michael Jordan's wife - took half of everything without shooting a single basket
Heather Mills got a rather large settlement from her marriage to Paul McCartney. How many songs did she write? Or how about ridiculous child support payments?
The worst thing is, the alimony stops when the wife remarries so she usually doesn't and just keeps her boyfriend while both live off of her ex-husbands dime.
This is nothing more than extortion or prostitution really.
