I was reading an article yesterday in the Wall Street Journal about men receiving alimony payments from their ex-wives, and boy does this resonate with me. I was the main bread winner in our family even though my husband was making considerable income himself, I made more by about $50k a year. No big deal right. WRONG. The $5000k alimony check I have to write for him is really wearing thin with me. What is shocking is that many men are gloating over the fact that their ex-wives are supporting them.

This is really a good reason not to get married again, rather cohabitate or get a pre-nup.  At this stage in the game, I don't want to support anyone but my children. Especially for women who are making a great living, apparently their are a considerable amount of male gold diggers more then ever!

I am so happy to see that I am not the only one who has this problem. I recommend that every woman who is considering getting divorced any time soon and makes a significant amount of money, seek out good legal advice now before you let on that you want to dissolve your marriage. Unfortunately, it is a woman's tendency to get out as quickly as possible and end up walking away leaving a lot on the table. Don't cut yourself short with bad council and last minute decisions, get the right advice or you could pay dearly for a very long time!
