As usual: It only becomes an important problem when women start suffering...

Ms. Caggiano says she's living pension-check-to-pension-check and has had to tap a home-equity line of credit to fix her roof. "It's a disgrace that this man is taking my money when he's perfectly capable of supporting himself," she says.

The bill in Massachusetts' House of Representatives has gained the support of a group called the 2nd Wives Club. Club co-founder Jeanie Hitner, who is 59 and lives in Marlbourough, Mass., testified to state legislators last month that she is working a second job—tutoring math four nights a week—to help her husband make alimony payments to his first wife.

Many states put formal alimony laws into place in the 1960s and 1970s, amid rising divorce rates and concerns that women earned less than men.

Around the same time no fault divorce became a thing. And who ever said feminism wasnt good for everone!

a probate judge ordered Mr. Taylor to pay temporary alimony based on Ms. Taylor's "dire immediate need" and his "ability to pay."

They could say that about any random guy on the street, which is all he was after 25 years. Family law is all about finding some poor smuch to support some parasite female so the government doesnt have to, creating some kind of artificial duty or responsability where none exists.

Opponents of the bill say it may not adequately protect those who rely on alimony payments.

Perhaps you shouldn't be relying on alimony payments to support yourself.

under Massachusetts law, she said, judges who want to keep a person off public services can turn to the ex-spouse.

I actually think that's a terrible excuse. First of all, if they really meant it, then they'd actually do something about the high divorce rates to begin with. Second of all, if they want us to believe it, maybe they should put a few more of the homeless men who sleep out on the streets back on to public services.

It's simple. Refuse to marry and impregnate women. As the State and women run out of money the law will change, as they are starting to right now. Every man who refuses to marry and impregnate women speeds up the rate of said change in law. Nothing will move the MRM faster than the total abandonment and disinterest in the survival and quality of life of women.
