Gordon Finley: Permanent alimony unfair to so many

Opinion piece here. Excerpt:

'However, if the family courts have assigned them permanent alimony, the golden years are enjoyed only by the ex-wife, as the former husband either is required to keep working or to continue to pay generally exorbitant sums to his ex from whatever he has left in old age.

Permanent alimony today is not fair to men, and soon will be unfair to women when the current gender gaps favoring females in education, occupation, and income kick in and will make them the payers.

Incomprehensibly, while most divorced children and parents can see what is happening, the minds of Florida's state legislators and family court judges are locked into the model of the 1950's family, with dad working and mom staying at home. This is about as realistic and relevant as The Flat Earth Society.'
