I personally do NOT belive men or women or whomever should pay a spouse any money if they get a divorce. They of course should pay child support but come on no one can really think they can take money for alimony! They need to work just like everyone else.

It depends on how long you were married. If you were married for 20 years and were a stay at home mom/dad all this time never worked then I believe that a person should receive spousal support.
If the kids are not in school yet then the it should be in the fathers best interest to either assist with daycare payments or pay support until the wife has found a job. (still assist with daycare) If there are no children that the amount of years married should determine alimony payments.

Sometimes alimony is very much in order. I was married at 20. I left college at my husband's request. We had 5 children over the next 10 years. I was a stay at home Mom because that was what both of us wanted. I have no marketable job skills. If my husband were to leave me there is no way I could earn enough to support myself. Consider all different situations. Alimony was established for a reason. The reason still applies.

What if a wife quit college to go to work to put the husband through school. She could have finished and got a good job, but instead she supported her husband. Then she stayed home to be a good wife because he made plenty of money and that is what he wanted. He gets tired of his house wife and leaves her for a younger perkier version. Now she is middle aged and the last job she had was a waitress while supporting her husband.
Do you think she deserves to go back to that after supporting him emotionally for years?
He can live large with his new wife off of the education she gave him, but what does she get?

I think when two people deside to end their marriage and it involves kids they should share custody of the child or children (if no abuse has happend) both parents should support their child or children not by giving the moneys to the other parent but by the two parents having their own jobs to support the child or children and as far as the alimony what would one need that for if they had their own job ?
