End Permanent Alimony Forever Say Opponents


According to US News and World Report, this financial life sentence after divorce persists in states including New Jersey, Oregon, Vermont, Connecticut, North Carolina, West Virginia, and Florida (typically for marriages lasting at least 10 years).

But a number of states are working on reform, including Florida, where just last week lawmakers approved a bill that would limit the amount of financial support an ex-spouse receives based on the length of a marriage.

Alimony reform advocates are looking to make similar changes in New Jersey, and two of them sat down with The Daily Ticker to talk about it.

Figured they would switch up alimony laws.

There's too many really rich dudes who get screwed with alimony for laws like this to stick around forever.

Shit will change. But only because second wives are pissed at the first wives taking her money.

Personally - I find the alimony laws quite funny. Nothing amuses me more than seeing another loser lining up to get married.
