I think alimony is still relevant today and women should be subject to these payments. I am the primary breadwinner in my family. When our children were young, we decided that one of us should stay home and at that time, I was earning more than my husband and we chose to have him stay home. My husband stayed home focusing on our children, does the laundry, grocery shopping, etc. Fortunately, we are still happily married and not expecting to divorce. Our decision to have my husband stay home has definately impacted his earnings power should he return to the workforce. Why shouldn’t he be compensated for this? I have certainly benefited from having my husband home.
