I don't know what state you're in, but there is a national movement to end permanent alimony. Why should you, an adult, pay for another adult who simply chooses not to work because the law says they don't have to? 50 years ago when men made up the majority of the workforce, the laws may have been adequate. Today, where half of the workforce is women, there is no reason they cannot support themselves financially. Get involved in your state's alimony reform movement. If you move, it has to be to another country, and that also has many challenges.
Permanent Alimony to an able bodied educated adult who chooses not to work may be legal, but it's not right. You, I, and our country will finally speak up. Get Involved!
