My husbands ex wife made considerably more money than he. She had multiple advanced degrees. When they split she requested alimony to keep her in the style to which she had become accustomed. It was absurd. A true case of a feminist baby boomer that has no idea what equality really is. For her it was what is mine is mine what is yours is mine too.
If anything my husband should have received alimony. Fortunately after a long drawn out proceeding lasting over five years, neither got alimony.
Between the two of them they spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in a fight which should not have even made it to court. Courts need formulas for determining whether or not alimony is justified, sometimes it is. Is should not be a venue for someone unrealistically looking for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
