Alimony is inconsistent with no-fault divorce. If a woman can divorce her husband for any reason and without cause or justification, she has no basis to demand alimony.
For years, I have encouraged my wife to get a job and rebuild her career, but she always has an excuse for not doing so. As she puts it, “it’s so much more fun to stay at home”. (The job of “homemaker” is not very demanding when the kids are grown).
If she suddenly decides she can be more “fulfilled” on her own, why should I pay?
