Divorce rulings on SAHM's alimony?
| Thu, 04-29-2004 - 10:29pm |
I have seen this many times, and I am wondering what your guys' opinion on this. Of course with divorce rates so high we find couples with children in court all the time finding out what is entitled to mothers for alimony. The argument is, should SAHM's receive more alimony then WOHM's? This meaning SAHM's who have through the whole marriage stayed at home with the children while the fathers successeds in their careers. This also meaning if they are going to pursue a career after the fact is their income be significant enough compared to the EX since they have been out of the work force for years and has not gained experience in what ever career the would have pursued.
I personally know someone who went through the exsact same thing and had a hard time finding a job(with income compareable) after the divorse since she hadn't worked for 25yrs.
The question also arise, does the SAHM contribute to the Fathers success because they choose to stay home therefore they should receive a cut now that they are divorced (the same as many would if they were still married)?
Thoughts? Please state weather you are a SAHM or WOHM when you place your comments

Well, savcal's xh should have thought about that when he was screwing around. obviously what he wants is more important than whether he is around his kids. he *pushed* savcal aside, and i dont blame her for moving to be around her strong family support system. i cant imagine trying to make it in a "foreign" region all by myself without any close emotional support. it would definitely not be healthy for my children. im just not built like that.
i think you're the bomb mommy, and dont be doubting yourself.
From what I have seen in Hollie's postings, she has given xh every opportunity to have the kids around and to visit the kids and he has chosen not to take her up on those opportunities. How is that HER fault?

No, I personally believe that it is selfish to "fulfill your IQ" or whatever at the expense of any real time with your children.
