 My girlfriends mom was married for 30 or so years. She was a stay at home mom and my girlfriends dad had a good job and was the sole provider. The life plan was to continue doing that until he retired and they would live off pension in retirement. When they divorced (near retirement age) he was the only one legally entitled to the pension money. Now my girlfriends mom is past retirement age and works low income jobs to support herself (no work experience). She has recently fought and rightfully won a portion of his pension. The marriage was an agreement not only to spend life together but also the funds that came with it. She spent the prime of her life caring for children instead of earning her own money with the husbands agreement.

It is wrong to look at the most extreme examples of alimony gone wrong and say the system should be abolished. Without the system women who choose to be stay-at-home moms or to work part time are in extremely vulnerable positions when it comes to pension and retirement.
I'm not even sure that splitting assets after they were married is fair. If a movie star gets married and then stars in a movie for $20 million, why is the spouse suddenly entitled to $10 million of that? What the hell did she do to make $10 million? Support him? Provide bj's? That hardly seems worth $10 million.
