alimony

when a marriage ends shouldnt it END? whats with having to support the other spouse for years to come with no end in sight? If it was someone who had no job skills and stayed home taking care of the family, then I could see temporary help until they retrain. but just open ended FOREVER? that is just highway robbery. AND the court is instructed not to consider the new family and subsequent children. I feel this is extremely unfair. as far as the court is concerned we do not exist. so they say ok Mr. Man makes 10 gazillion dollars a year and his expenses are only 9 gazillion. what is he doing with that other gazillion? give it to the now ex Mrs. Man. oh you mean he wants to put his children through college? too bad. pay up buster or we will make YOU PAY. There is hardly any legislation for alimony/spousal maintenance. and dammit it sucks being the NEW Mrs. Man and having to live your life in the shadow of the old Mrs. Man. I hope someday she will get hers. on this plane or the next, what goes around comes around.

Being a very faith based person and believing in karma I am quite sure that the old Mrs.Man will get exactly what she deserves when the universe judges her accordingly. Of course we can never know how another will be judged and if that judgment will ever seem "fair" in the eyes of
the violated.

PS
I am sorry that your are feeling frustrated and angry.

Thankfully, you only live in a very small shadow of the old Mrs. You will always outshine her in the eyes of E in every other aspect worth more than anything the old Mrs. gets from him.

I am sure your children will be able to go to college and experience treasures of opportunity.

Still... I know its a big peeve.

yes our children will go to college, my point was HER children want to go to college. but she would rather have money for herself to take care of her HORSES than let us have anything left at the end of the month to put in college savints accounts. I am hoping it will all be over soon. its all I can do at this point.
