Much depends upon circumstances. If one spouse is the homemaker and the other the bacon-bringer, the homemaker is going to need some time to adjust. And the one that files for divorce should be assumed to feel they can get along just fine without the other.
Whatever the situation, alimony shouldn’t last forever. Take it down to zero, in stages, over four years? Help someone you once loved? Fine. Be slave to them forever? Forget it!
