For years, a lot of people assumed divorce meant the higher-earning spouse would automatically be paying alimony for years.
But this divorce lawyer says that expectation may be changing.
In this LJC Reacts episode, I react to the argument that courts are becoming less willing to award long-term alimony the way they once did — especially as more households have two incomes and expectations around marriage and divorce continue to change.
Of course, divorce laws vary by state and every case is different, but the bigger conversation is interesting:
Should alimony still work the same way it did decades ago — or should both people be expected to financially move on after divorce?
