Kelly Clarkson has to pay 150k per month in spousal support, only 10% of what she makes a month. Isn't this generally a lot higher % for guys paying spousal support? Also, lots of commentors on the article are saying that it's bad she's paying this much and he should get a job and support himself.

“He should get a job”

Really? Most men paying CS and SS are having a hard time keeping ends meet. Fucking morons.

When the narratives changes only then do they start taking shovels, pitchforks, and torches.

Boo. Fucking. Hoo. For. Her. All the White Knight/Simp Simpsons and radical Feminist$ all freak out when the rules don’t shake out 100% in HER favor. SMH

How the turn tables

CS is 22% of income in my state. 10% is ludicrously low.

Only 10%? She's getting off easy.

Well, i guess. A small step today, a huge step for the tomorrow

Biased judge and i would even call it discriminatory. Living arrangements, nuptial agreements are all useless and judges will arbitrarily enforce them.

Various high court case laws in most of the Western countries says that the dependent partner is entitled to maintain the current living standards! This could even mean that the breadwinner loses up to 90% of their income just to keep the bread-taker in the big house, the fancy car and other extravagant living, while the breadwinner gets to go live in a ghetto.

The moment there is a provable bread-winner/bread-taker type of relationship where 1 person does not work and does the homebody then the person taking care of the home is entitled to half of what the breadwinner takes home as per high court rulings. Their case law is absolutism. unless they define it more narrowly in a new case that they're willing to hear wherein they can introduce exemptions provided there is a valid argument.

High court case laws also says that you no longer have to be actually married in order to enforce these laws as per common law living together is in essence enough to qualify as a married couple and thus eligible for alimony.

In fact many countries are moving towards the fact that you don't even need to live together anymore and that you don't even need to prove if there has been intimacy, all you have to prove is a financial record of some sort that there is a precedent of financial support relationship with a person they can sue you for spousal support. Especially if this financial support comes has a pattern too it. For example, paying her rent. I know guys who pay through their own bank the apartment lease of their sugar baby, this can get you into allot of trouble.

Reminder to not send women digital money, or payments. Always pay cash.

Isn't it 200k?

But when it was Dr. Dre, misandry was rampant in the comments.

Some resemblance of equality

I didn't know she was married to began with...

Such_Temporary_9597 · 2021-07-28T21:00:02+00:00

What about dre?? Should his ex- wife get a job??

KGabby · 2021-07-29T05:17:22+00:00

Who cares. You know that as a man its expected you provide, so provide. And if you don't want to for women, like most of us here then don't get into that situation.

But this guy is still a fucking loser for having his ex-wife take care of him, even if she got off "easy" compared to men in her situation.

I don't think anyone should be celebrating this. Spousal support beyond what is needed for someone to get back on their feet in specific circumstances (e.g. spouse quit job to raise kids by mutual decision) is an anachronism, especially now that divorce is commonplace.
