Are you aware lifetime alimony judgments are still available in a handful of states like Florida? Would you want your son or daughter to have to pay lifetime alimony to their college educated ex-spouse if they get divorced? We have people who married at 22 after college and are divorced at 40 and they will have to pay lifetime alimony 50+ years--plus maintain a high amount of life insurance with the ex as the beneficiary. The ex will never have to work to support themselves since they can rely on alimony permanently. We need alimony reform in order to place guidelines on alimony--like child support has and ends at age 18. Alimony should have a time limit as well. Please support Alimony Reform.
I post this http://youtu.be/l523XAgv_vc to inform the public about the current antiquated alimony laws still in existence around the country. This is my alimony horror story. In the no fault divorce state of Florida, the ex had many adulterous affairs with other women including her incestuous relationship with her 20 year old female cousin. In 2003 she formed Tampa Chaverot-Jewish Lesbians of Tampa Bay http://members.tripod.com/sherylk_/tampachaverot/id1.html while we were still married. She gets rewarded for all this and her changed sexual orientation with lifetime alimony in 2006 by the Hillsborough County Court (Tampa Case No: 05-DR-013627 http://opencourtrecords.org/case.php?id=3795300) and I get punished financially. How is this right and just? It certainly isn't and the time to fix such an injustice is now. The duplicity continues and she blogs and writes as well as conducts her day to day life under an assumed last name. If you are outraged about this avaricious hypocrite, please get involved to fight the unjust alimony laws around the country. There is no reason why a judge can't order her to return to the workforce. She is a four year university graduate. The children are adults and no longer living in the home. There's no reason why an able bodied, healthy, educated woman can't be instructed by new law and guidelines to fully financially support herself. In a case similar to mine, a man paying lifetime alimony to his lesbian ex-wife had the alimony award overturned. A Minnesota court held that the “defendant’s post-decree lesbianism is a material change in circumstances which justifies the termination of alimony.” The case is Anonymous v Anonymous, 5 Fam.L Rptr. (BNA) 2127 (Minn.Dist.Ct.15 Nov 1978). Read the article here: http://news.google.com/newspapers… This key point should be addressed in all proposed alimony reform legislation. Expanding the definition of "change in circumstances" beyond the financial to include a change in sexual orientation or gender will make the criteria more relevant to today. While the contemporary picture of marriage may be changing, when we divorced in Florida, marriage was between a man and a woman. Currently sexual reassignment surgeries are becoming more common place. Why should a spouse who believed they were marrying someone of the opposite sex, have to support that spouse who changes their gender or sexual orientation and redefines the marriage? The traditional marriage is broken through no fault of the other spouse. This is not like a couple who "fall out of love" or have grown tired of one another. Florida lawmakers should take into consideration this new reality and the changing landscape of marriage and reasons for divorce. Granting lifetime alimony to a spouse who changed sexual orientation or gender is absolutely an injustice. This needs to be stopped and such previous judgments overturned. Lifetime alimony supports such trips: http://www.insiderouttravel.com/.../07/safari-adventure.html or with the family here: http://news.co.cr/three-generations-of-family.../11026/ as well as many others. Lifetime alimony affects the entire family and families are divided. Parental alienation occurs with the issue. The ex filed in the Circuit Court of the 13th Judicial Circuit, in and for Hillsborough County, FL Case No: 13-11991 Division G http://opencourtrecords.org/case.php?id=3081441 and on August 21, 2013 the judge ruled for Order of Dismissal of Temporary Injunction for Protection "The evidence presented is insufficient under Florida law". The ex-wife attempted in her demand to muzzle our alimony reform efforts. She even had our 18 year old son testify against me. My daughter also advocated against reform by visiting the Governor's office. She was interviewed by media as in this article. She provided a fake last name even though her legal last name is Kallett. http://miamiherald.typepad.com/.../two-dozen-women-urge...
