After fifteen months as a receptionist at a law firm, it is my humble opinion that alimony can be ridiculously unfair to the spouse paying out (yes! Sometimes alimony does cover a spouse keeping her horse in a private stable!) and ridiculously unfair to a spouse who really needs the money (yes! Sometimes a spouse gave up their job for years because of marriage!). Sometimes it's too much, sometimes it's too little, sometimes it's spot on -- just like plenty of other things in the legal system.

*towels*

Also, wow. That is bad service.
