I just can't wrap my head around alimony for these guys... Child support YES, maintenance for an addict NO! What stories are they spinning that they are unable to get a job for 5 freaking years!!!!? I can totally understand alimony maintenance for a woman SHORT TERM IF she gave up work to birth then raise her child until they got into a daycare or a school situation. But then she should be expected to get back to the workplace to support herself if the family unit breaks down and the only spousal support should be about child support and that's it. And now male ADDICTS get rewarded by the courts to sit home and get drunk (and more) and draw a "free paycheck" from the ex all under the guise of babysitting?? OMG. This injustice is infuriating!
