Someone please explain the difference between alimony and child support. Child support is obvious as to what it is for but wtf is alimony? Is it the same thing? I just need a simple explanation. Thanks.

Alimony is spousal support. The argument used is that the spouse is entitled to funds to keep up the same lifestyle they had during marriage. Usually assets are divided that were gained over the course of the marriage.

I brought up alimony cause of a video I watched about a guy who's remarried in florida who is still being financially crippled by his ex-wife 20 years later. I will post the video when I'm off work.

Alimony makes zero sense. I think it was probably more necessary yrs ago. After divorce a man's quality of life increases and a woman's decreases and its a large gap. Some if the reason cause women were far less skilled. Ya had mothers stayin at home for decades then gettin divorced and havin no skills or network or experience. While the man had all those things but now had one less person to provide for. So men had much more power.


The idea of permanent alimony was always a joke. Finally itsb getting reformed. So women cant divorce and be lazy bums... prob a factor of why women earn less than men. But with women workin more now alimony is even dumber. Of course feminists can spin it either way ti make themselves the victims
In all fairness it can work both ways. if you work a ****ty job or stay at home as a man and your wife makes all the money...you take recieve alimony from her just the same.

it can work both ways but usualyl it works just one way. most recent stats i could find were that about 3% of alimony recipients were male. 97% female. so its usualyl guys gettin screwed when it comes to alimony.

im not sure how anyone could think alimony was fair on basically any level which is why i wondered if any feminists here had any argument for it but it doesnt look like they are comin outta the woodwork for this one

I'll bite just because I have nothin better to do.

I'm actually against alimony too, in any way. Divorced or married, no one is entitled to anything. I'm a firm believer in getting what you work for in life and that's the end of it. I really don't see how feminism comes into play here, they're not really related as far as I can tell.
