Alimony Reform Efforts in New Jersey Are Unnecessary and Potentially Dangerous to Women (2013)

Representing the interests of those women who make up the vast majority of alimony recipients, NOW-NJ supports alimony laws already in place, which take into full consideration the economic circumstances of recipients. Women often invest years of unpaid homemaking and caregiving labor in marriages. This time out of the workforce has an impact on women’s ability to re-enter the labor market in well-paying jobs, and relegates many women to low-wage service sector jobs or underpaid “women’s work.” These factors have a collective impact on women’s lifetime earnings, robbing them of Social Security credits and limiting their access to company pension plans and security in retirement. The economic vulnerability of women who have invested years in the caring of households and the raising of children so that their spouses could work should not be ignored in the rush to overturn alimony payments for select groups.

This argument makes NOW seem traditionalist, LOL. It seems like they will basically say anything. Their only argument is vagina=good. Get a fucking job, ladies.

Why should alimony last a life time? The marriage didn't.

OP - I take it you disagree with this argument. Can you tell us more about these proposed amendments? Can you explain why these concerns brought forward by NOW-NJ are incorrect?

Why shouldn't alimony laws consider the means and needs of the recipient?
