If you collect alimony, you're a moneygrubbing whore.
Okay, so [info]cbpiz posts to [info]bad_service about her father-in-law passing away and his girlfriend of five years, claiming to be the man's wife, cremating him within 24 hours without consulting his family/next of kin or having any legal paperwork of any kind. Distressed because she and other family members did not get a chance to pay their respects and receive closure, she calls this bad service on the part of the funeral home.

Cue.... alimony wank!

Yes, that's right. Forget the possibly irresponsible/unethical funeral home and the possibly shady circumstances, it's all about them moneygrubbin' hos because alimony is charity and true feminists would have none of it.

Some lone voices of reason pipe up, nobly excusing [info]cbpiz due to her distressed state while at the same time patiently disagreeing with her, but no, alimony is for the weak.

Uh-huh.

The wank is dying down, as the OP seems to realize this isn't the time/place, but was it ever vociferous.

I think it comes out to "less than half". (And this is strictly as a layman.)

However! This means that Wife makes... $50k per year at a job. Hubby makes $25k. She pays him alimony. As long as the marriage has lasted X# of years (which is totally subjective, sometimes even down to the judge.)

It also means that wife, who has spent the last 30years raising kids, or whatever, will get alimony because she hasn't been in the workforce for so long that her skills are outdated.

So, it really comes down to "it depends."
