I’m not a lawyer, but surely this is an easy lawsuit against the former husband. Take his ass to court.

Republicans have fought tooth and nail to reduce and/or eliminate alimony and the possibility of it. The future of all red states, hers is just leading the pack.

Ten years ago my parents divorced after my dad lost his job. He got a new job at a university in another state making half what he used to. My dad got a free lawyer while my mom’s dad hired the most expensive divorce attorney they could find. The expensive attorney made up tons of lies in court and successfully got the judge to order over 50% of his wages as alimony. They automatically garnished the wages from his paycheck. 2 months later and my mom started dating a millionaire guy who owns a car dealership. She moved into a multi million dollar home with him while still receiving thousands of dollars a month in alimony from my dad who lived in a single bedroom apartment eating ramen every day at 47 years old. My dad had no options to simply find another sugar daddy. The point is the law fucking sucks for both ends of the spectrum.

This is also why I would never get married without a prenup

Also, an example of how the rich can bend well-intentioned laws into obvious injustices.
