Tenth Year of a Life Sentence

Forums - Share your Alimony Story:

Never broke any laws, yet I feel that I am being punished more than most criminals in this state for getting divorced. I have a life sentence with no chance of parole. No chance of ever voluntarily retiring. With lots of concerns about the impact and burden this will have on the future of my wife and young family. We have two young girls that need an education to compete when they come of age, yet my concern is just to feed and clothe them till then.
I believe that for my ex the reliance on alimony has done more harm than good. This is a women who desperately needed to get back into society, which employment could have provided, instead spends most of her time at home.
