Alimony is so wrong.

While they're at it, they should cap child support at the amount you would get from government assistance to prevent predatory mothers from targeting working men for their bank accounts.

There was a time when alimony made sense. Now is no longer that time. Now it’s just wrong.

Just wanted to comment how brave one has to be to propose something like that in California of all places. But it just shows how much alimony can hurt former husbands. It's used too often as a punitive measure against men then actually caring about the sustenance of separated families/children. And bullies have been abusing it for decades.

Pro tip: if you don't want to pay alimony then don't get married.

You cannot possibly not know that was a potential outcome.

Edit: a couple of you think common law marriage is going to get you.

Common law marriage only exists in a few states. Most states do not recognize CLM. 39 states do not recognize "informal marriages."
The state has requirements that must be met before a CLM could exust. Simply living together is not enough in any state.
She has to prove a CLM exists in court before one exists.
It's far easier for her to negotiate an out of court arrangement with you than it is to prove a CLM exists then divorce.
Claiming CLM is going to get you is the cowards way of justifying their marriage.
