MRP - Lifetime Alimony

"Is it time to scrap lifetime alimony payments in divorce cases?" -  was published over a year ago on the Minnesota Public Radio website but is still very relevant.

Many of the stories in the comments are downright painful to read. How can we as a society tolerate such injustice?
