        ExWife.

        Also alimony can be given to the man as well if he decided to be the homemaker or stay at home parent.

        Whoever gets paid more is the one who ends up owing down, doesn’t matter if you have a dick or wind chimes down there.

      Uhhh, I’m a Xennial and this hits hard. I am basically paying for her mortgage with the amount of money I have to give my ex every month. She has always had zero ambition, so I was always getting raises, and by the time we split, our finances were in two very different places, so the court said I have the luxury of paying her monthly just to be rid of her.

        You got screwed then if you’re in the usa, spousal alimony is basically non-existent. Most states don’t have it anymore and those that do have it for about a year.

          I’m well aware of how screwed I got… I’m hoping that in the next year or so I’ll be able to re-litigate with a different lawyer. I was so desperate to get out of that marriage, I took some bad advice.

          My biggest problem is that my life hasn’t been the most stable since I left her. The sick amount of money I have to give her every month certainly hasn’t helped.

            Does she work? What state are you in? You shouldn’t be paying her at all really. Alimony has really lost its teeth in the last 10 years.

          I got screwed too, because we have a child. If he has one, he is screwed until the kid finishes college or is 25 yo.

          He also pays in full even if he has 50% custody. Here in america, woman good man bad.

            Certainly it sounds like you’re bad.

            It’s your kid, why shouldn’t you be happily paying for his or her life?

      Only boomers have bad marriages? Or is it because someone who was famous before you were born should never be shown in a meme?

      Or is it boomer because you don’t get it?
