Jennifer Lopez's boyfriend Alex Rodriguez is fighting to reduce his $115K-a-month spousal/child support. He's paying her $115K a month despite her having a kid with her new boyfriend and refusing to work again even though she got a master’s degree in psychology.

SwordfshII · 2018-10-24T17:20:46+00:00

WTF. They were married for 6 years and he has been paying her support for 10 years at $115,000 a month.

He has been paying for longer than he was married.

That is $13.8 Million.

I love how the article tries to justify that it is ok because "look how well he is doing"

SomeoneStopMePlease · 2018-10-24T18:02:46+00:00

Meanwhile I'm a dad with sole custody of my daughter and my ex wife pays 80 dollars a month child support.

Agreed. I met the man that was paying 700k a month in alimony. I didn't really talk to him about that but I can guarantee it's not something he was happy about.

Alimony is child support for grown women

Good for him. If a woman gets re-married you should definitely get a reduced pay in child support, especially if she's not working and being taken care of by the new husband. She gets to keep all the funds that are no longer going to the children or the child's bill because she's obviously getting all the bills paid for. Disgusting.

Ceteris__Paribus · 2018-10-24T17:16:02+00:00

That was a confusing headline, his ex-wife is Cynthia Scurtis and it's weird to describe him as J-Lo's boyfriend rather than the former all-star baseball player or something. I know it's something people do to women as well, lead with them being the wife of someone instead of their career, but it's still odd.

McFeely_Smackup · 2018-10-24T21:49:43+00:00

The title is very misleading.

Alex Rodriguez is paying alimony and child support to his ex-wife, Cynthia Scurtis. he is currently dating Jennifer Lopez, her mention in the title is a confusing non sequitur.

TL;DR A-Rod is not paying J-Lo anything

dingoperson2 · 2018-10-24T18:18:30+00:00

Jennifer Lopez is indirectly hurt by this, which is why the media cares. If a woman is hurt in some way it makes the story 5x more attractive.

carl0071 · 2018-10-24T23:44:37+00:00

The sad think is... alimony will probably get fixed pretty soon because more and more women are having to pay it and realizing how unfair it is when applied to them.

atred · 2018-10-24T17:42:28+00:00

I would not work either if I got $115K a month from somebody, heck I would find a way to remain pregnant for that even though I'm a man. The incentive is way too big.

Slade_Riprock · 2018-10-24T18:49:36+00:00

There should be no such thing as spousal support unless it is shown that the receiving spouse chose not to pursue employment based on mutual agreement. Then and only then it should be minimal and temporary.

Child support should be based upon actual needs of the child IF not living with the actual higher income/net worth parent. The concept is not to pay the ex spouse to Createbam opulent life for the child. Support is support not enrichment.

brian_reddit_77 · 2018-10-24T17:04:49+00:00

Modern Feminism is just misandry.

Arrow218 · 2018-10-24T18:27:19+00:00

Rich ex wives shouldn’t be entitled to anything and mothers should have to prove need for child support to get it. These famous men being handcuffed to their jobs by absolutely insane amounts of child support are so fucked.

fastcarsandliberty · 2018-10-24T18:27:29+00:00

He should be paying $0 a month

yoshi314 · 2018-10-24T17:54:11+00:00

it should be abolished, if a woman in question clearly doesn't need it.

or if she's squandering the money.

BlackBoxInquiry · 2018-10-24T18:59:05+00:00

Equality, she’s got money and also the ability to earn on top of any royalties she’s gathering.

Strong and independent huh? Why does she need a “mans” money?

And who the fuck needs $115k per month to live? I could easily support a family living in California that...

throwawaylifespan · 2018-10-24T18:54:26+00:00

Men always pay for relationships/sex/children with women. You either pay now or later; you choose.

Actually women also always pay for sex with women who get the kids in the same way.

KrogerPornStar · 2018-10-25T11:33:03+00:00

Alimony = paying for past use of a vagina. Vaginamony

snoozeflu · 2018-10-24T17:15:47+00:00

Oh well. Don't get married then. That's what you get.

I used to get fired up and outraged over stories like this but not anymore. I am confident that I will never pay any woman one single dime of alimony, ever because I refuse to get married after reading all these horror stories.

Can you include something along the lines of "no alimony and/or child support" in a prenuptial agreement?

Theman554 · 2018-10-25T01:20:01+00:00

I'm curious what the argument for that amount of child support is? Should it matter who leaves who? It seems child support should be some sort of fixed cost based on the cost of living in an area. Why does a child require my yearly household income each month?

Bamboozle4ever · 2018-10-25T01:43:52+00:00

Bill Burr goes on amazing rants about this. She is milking it for all she can and the system absolutely let's her. She had done nothing to help him reach his income and shouldbt be rewarded for fucking him. What is this, legal prostitution?

Support above 1k a month is robbery.

We need Sharia law the Alimony is decided in a prenup.

whoawhatnoway · 2018-10-25T06:12:52+00:00

Hope he wins. Jaylow is cool but damn 115k?????

Limio · 2018-10-25T06:23:51+00:00

The amount of money doesn't truly matter because this effects almost every ruined marriage/partnetship. It matters across the board because it forces a man, almost always, to subsidize their exs for years and they use it as retailiation in one form or another. As if the woman also didn't get something from the relationship that the man didn't no matter how long it lasted. Now one person has to pay someone for half the time they were together at least? Now one person is owed something in perpetuity that has no basis is reality or what one person was or would have done for the other? For example, like in this case, that someone would choose not to work and just reup with a new family while the other person can't see their kids and works 2 jobs. It's not about support, it's about power. Men have it physically. Woman have it legally and socialogically. They can weaponize those things the same way men can with physicality. The point is that some men do and they go to jail when caught beating their wives or whatever. Thats correct and just. The justice system does not punish woman for weaponizing things the legal and social realms in the same way.

From what I can tell, many women use this to trap a former partner and extort money from them. They use children and the legal systems to force this and no actual discourse happens about what is really right or best for anyone especially if children are involved.

Ok rant over. I actually don't give a shit about either of these people. It's the regular guy who gets truly fucked in these situations.

Nomenius · 2018-10-25T06:53:19+00:00

Holy goddamn shit fucker, that's a lotta goddamn money. How the hell does anybody think that's a reasonable amount to support a child. I could understand even something like 5-7k, but 115k is fucking rediculous even if he is a multimillionaire

If you can raise a kid on 100k a year, you can't parent. 115k a month is petty AF. HALF that is petty AF. After a certain point, it becomes a revenge tax.

Stevi100183 · 2018-10-25T12:20:06+00:00

My cousin's wife's(I'll refer to her as my cousin from here on out) parents divorced when she was elementary or middle school aged. Her mom gets alimony and has ever since the divorce. Her mom told my cousin, despite being engaged to another man for a few years at the time (about 5 years ago),she would not marry him until after my cousin's dad dies because she was not going to lose the alimony he pays her. Her father is remarried and has a nice happy life. Her mom jumps from man to man looking for someone to take care of her and pay all her bills. I hate my cousin's mom.

JackFisherBooks · 2018-10-25T13:29:11+00:00

The more stories like this that come out, the more likely it is that alimony will become a more relevant issue. It may even become a politicized issue in wake of the anti-harassment movement. Gender-specific injustices are getting more and more attention these days. At some point, I think alimony will be one of them.

chinawinsworlds · 2018-10-25T15:38:45+00:00

At that point, just hire an assassin. Just end the life of that disgusting parasite.

A masters in Psychology basically qualifies one to wait tables. That being said, left wingers love these sorts of payouts. It’s a way to “stick it” to the patriarchy.

I have an uncle. Never went to college and did manual work, is now 50-something, has extreme atheritis, fibromyalgia, some other thing he has that makes it so he vomits up whatever he eats half the time. Now, he's gone to court three times. He hasn't been arrested, no. He's been trying to get on disability. Nobody will hire him, he can barely get out bed let alone eat, and certainly can't work. But they won't put him on disability. My uncle was a hard working man and can't do anything on his own now and constantly has to rely on me and my grandmother taking care of him.

This woman has the fund flow of a higher class man, has a degree, is capable of working but somehow feels she's entitled to a giant ton of income from her former husband and never has to work again?

Fuck. That. Noise

B_P_G · 2018-10-25T02:32:12+00:00

A masters degree in psychology doesn't really buy you a whole lot in the job market - certainly nothing that's going to pay $115K/mo. So I'm not sure why you had to bring that up. The truth is neither of these people are hurting for money. I mean I think alimony is a crock of shit and child support should be some set amount based on real costs that doesn't depend on income but saying Jennifer Lopez should go get a job because she has a masters degree is ridiculous. The woman made tens of millions in her singing career. She can sit on her ass all day and let the job go to somebody who needs it.

brahbocop · 2018-10-25T10:22:33+00:00

Hey OP, plenty of men get alimony too. I know at least two men who started their own small business and now get alimony from their ex-wives. You can bash Alex’s ex here but your little comment at the end reeks of women hating.
