Alimony--Not Just For Women
More women paying their ex-husbands alimony
The Wall Street Journal ran an interesting article this morning about the rise in men receiving alimony. According to the article, the number of men receiving alimony from their former wives rose from 2.4% to 3.6% in a five year period ending 2006. Today, females make more money than their spouses in 33% of all families.
And it also appears the distaste some have for paying alimony crosses gender lines. As one woman said, "I feel financially raped" while another woman said she would spit on the alimony checks she wrote each month to her ex-husband.
