Which is not the same thing as your statement that the courts force alimony payers to work.



Alimony is typically awarded to help with a transition period and most recipients end up having to support themselves, anyway. There is plenty of incentive for the recipient to get and keep a job. My ex is receiving enough alimony to support herself without any problem - yet she still went out and got a good job. It amounts to significant incremental income for her, so there's plenty of incentive for her to work.
Again you are referring to your own isolated and unique situation that doesn't represent this whole country. There are states where if you had been divorced there, you might just be paying LIFETIME alimony. I hate to be the one to have tell you but your breath smells like sh!t.
