Wife No. 2 Paying for Wife No. 1? Join the Club

Article here. Excerpt:
'Stress over alimony payments to her husband's ex-wife nearly drove Deborah Scanlan to divorce. Helping her husband make alimony payments to his ex forced Jeanie Hitner to take on a second job. Both Massachusetts women now say they wish they'd never gotten married.
...
The club, which claims 70 members and counting, consists mostly of married women who say that Massachusetts judges' rulings forced them to contribute to alimony payments for their partners' ex-wives. ...
...
"I was absolutely horrified that I was now responsible for a portion of the support of his first wife," she said. On the day of the judge's alimony ruling in her husband's case, Scanlan said, "I left the court house and just couldn't believe that such a thing was possible."'

Like I've always said,
Like I've always said, nothing's ever a problem until it affects women.

Bingo
Nail on the head.
When exactly are Americans
When exactly are Americans going to question the whole idea of alimony? This is nothing short of slavery or indentured servitude. Hello McFly!!!!!!!!!
You'd get the impressuion...
From reading this, you'd get the impression that there was some sort of conspiracy (radical feminism) afoot to destroy marriages, as if they're not falling apart fast enough already. How dare a man get married again and try to find happiness with another woman. (sarcasm)To the salt mines with all males!!! Male slavery forever!!!(end sarcasm)

I assume you know that's actually the case.

Yep, it's a conspiracy
"I assume you know that's actually the case."
Yes, I guess I should have indicated sarcasm earlier than I did. As this story shows, the conspiracy to destroy marriage includes 2nd marriages, etc., as well as 1st marriages.
What goes around...
The irony here is that the efforts of women to get more money out of men turns into women getting more money out of other women.
The female entitlement system creates female slaves as well. Some women are more equal than others.
"Some women are more equal
"Some women are more equal than others."
Yep. The more pathetic they are the more they get. That's enshrined in divorce law all over the country. My buddy was getting divorced and he was telling his attorney how worthless his wife was and the attorney said none of that could come out in court or he'd be paying lifetime alimony for sure.
