Divorce Attorney's Alimony Legislation Article - Cheaper to Keep Her? Not Anymore...

Posted: January 3, 2012

Source:  Noted below. 

We all have a friend (who has a friend) that stays in a bad marriage just because he (or she) can't afford the alimony that often comes along with ending the relationship. For those living in a ship-wrecked marriage, help may be on the way. If proposed alimony reform is passed by the Florida Legislature, for many it may no longer be "cheaper to keep her."

In response to sweeping reforms in other states (most recently Massachusetts and New Jersey), legislators in Florida (one of which ironically is now going through his own divorce) have recently introduced parallel bills in the Florida House and Senate that are intended to bring what many perceive to be antiquated laws concerning alimony into the 21st century.

Key provisions of the bills would limit the maximum duration of alimony based on the length of marriage; terminate alimony at full retirement age (currently 66); and cap alimony at no more than 20% of the payer's net monthly income. The most important change -- particularly for the millions of (predominantly) men serving as indentured servants to their former spouses -- is its retroactive nature, allowing a spouse the ability to go back to court to modify his or her existing orders of support in line with the parameters of the new law.

Proponents of the bill (again, mostly men) argue that the current laws concerning alimony have the effect of making former spouses ending long-term marriages "partners for life," and that the current laws fail to acknowledge the reality that in most households today, both spouses work.

Everyone has a friend who has a friend with a horror story. There is the man who works two jobs so his former spouse can avoid working while living and traveling with her new boyfriend. There is the 75 year old man who is unable to retire, and is forced to work full time to pay alimony to his former spouse 25 years after their divorce. Proponents argue that the current laws provide unequal treatment and expectations on the paying spouse, while the spouse receiving the alimony marches on (sometimes with a significant other) without any meaningful adjustment to their own lifestyle. 

Even those who don't support the pending legislation would likely agree that for most divorces, both spouses who are educated should have a responsibility to work. Long gone are the days where only one spouse provides the financial support for the family while the other stays at home to raise the children.

While most critics would acknowledge that changes to current laws are necessary, some argue that the proposed changes have taken reform too far, even accusing bill drafters of being misogynistic (since of those receiving alimony, 90% are female). Critics also claim that the passage of the proposed bill in its current form has the potential to create a welfare state for spouses who are either too old or lacking in educational and occupational qualifications to enter the work force. No doubt, critics point to their own friends who have friends with their own horror stories. 

Nevertheless, both supporters and critics agree that reform is necessary to bring current laws in line with the realities of the modern family. The question is whether or not a line should be drawn, and if so, where.

Should Florida give needy spouses alimony for a "reasonable period of time" like Rhode Island does?

One Facebook User's Religious Defense of The Marriage Relationship being for Opposite Sexes.

Facebook has become a greater forum for opinions on marriage, divorce, politics, religion and many other subjects of debate.   

Some time back a Boston radio station asked that I be interviewed about an article written by a third-party who made the claim that Facebook has substantially contributed to the increased breakdown of marriages.  I declined the interview.  

However, as a lawyer focusing my law practice exclusively in the area of divorce and family law I found it interesting that the media has drawn it's own attention not simply to Facebook but to it's affects on various aspects of life and relationships.

I found this posting on Facebook at one time.  I did not write it, nor is it meant to reflect my views or thoughts with respect to the subject.  It is a post that has likely scrolled off into infinity in the history of Facebook and yet it is certainly one of the tamer posts that have been made by those who tend to be more aggressive advocates for one position or another.  Yet I found it interesting that this posting has been only one of countless strings of discussions and disputes about the subject of same sex marriages.

The Facebook posting was as follows:

There seems to be more and more posting with regard to same sex marriages. I just want to state that God created man and woman. Read Genesis Chapter 2, 21-24, and you will find that God took the rib of Adam to make Eve and Adam said: "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh."How then can marriage relationship be any other way but the way GOD ordained it????????

[No change has been made to the post.]

This one Facebook posting is perhaps illustrative of one key point.  Many people in life go through life without taking time to consciously and knowledgeably considering all the aspects of marriage, love, life, law, relationships and the overall impacts that one change may or will have on society and life as a whole.

If you have beliefs by which you live, you are certainly entitled to them.  However, it is always good to question them.  If you cannot verbalize and/or justify the underlying reasons for your belief in something other than perhaps a reliance upon blanket statements such as,

1.  That's what I was taught.

2.  I was brought up Catholic, or Baptist, or Jewish, etc... and that's what our faith believes.

3.  That's something we take on faith, it isn't questioned.

or

4.  That's just the way it is.

Then, you may wish to ask a few more questions to insure that YOU truly believe what you believe for the right reasons.  Keep in mind that much of what we believe and learn is based upon those who have taught and/or raised us over the years and who we may respect or look up to.  Much of it is not by choice but rather by an adoption of another person's teachings, beliefs, or reasons and may exist in you not by actual thought or questioning but simply because it is easier to believe that those you have learned from would never mislead you.  Though it may be true that they would never knowingly mislead you, what if they only taught you what they learned from the person before them?  What if the first person who cared and had good intentions about friends and family was incorrect in what they taught?  What if society and history changed in such a way that we learned more about a particular subject than was known "back then?"  

A search for meaning and correct beliefs, in my own humble opinion, is never an unrewarding endeavor.  It leads us to enlightenment and enrichment of our lives by exploration and understanding of more than what we may have been taught.

In the end, my philosophy is this.  Without questioning our beliefs so we know why we truly believe them, we are all like a chain of people playing a game of follow the leader with none of us realizing that the person in the lead who has been leading everyone else in our chain is actually blind.

Feel free to contribute your thoughts either on the Facebook posting in defense of opposite sex marriages or on this article generally.  Constructive postings that do not denegrate anyone and use appropriate language will be approved.

The RI Divorce Coach Speaks on Keeping Your Marriage Together!

It's sad to see so many spouses divorcing on a weekly basis.  Many RI Divorce cases contain spouses who are bitter, unyielding and unwilling to come to any kind of compromise even when there may be minor children involved.  All too often I see the minor children in such situations victimized and hurt because one or the other parent can't control his or her animosity and the tension, anger, and stress carry over to the children.  That is why I have made it a major goal of my Rhode Island family law practice to try to bring divorces to an amicable resolution before tensions can rise and families can be torn apart.

Ultimately, the truth is that many marriages can be saved and spouse's can keep their marriages together whether they have children or not.  Naturally it all takes work not just one day a week but every day.  The way to make it easier is to turn what is at first "work" into an enjoyable exercise that keeps the love and communication alive in your family.

Personally, I recommend reading John Gray's books that started with "Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus" as a good start.  Ultimately I have come to realize that men and women do, in fact, think and act differently from one another.  This, of course, makes a big difference in how each spouse perceives what the other spouse has said or done in a particular situation.

As I write this I can give you a specific example.

A husband is tired and has just finished a household project that has taken him two days to complete and he sits down to rest and have a bowl of ice cream as his reward.  His wife is sitting nearby.  

His wife likes to sew, perform embroidery and make small quilts but she's has been sick off and on for the past year and she has been somewhat limited in what she can do and she has found it discouraging. She has a nice sewing room which was the first room in the house to be recarpeted and in which she has acquired 6 or 7 sewing machines, embroidery machines and sergers to do the things she enjoys.

WIFE:  I'm looking forward to when we can get new furniture.

The husband suddenly becomes angry, defensive and snaps at his wife.  He feels tired and unappreciated for the work he just did.  Even if she told him "Thank you." or tells him "You did a great job.  That probably isn't going to help if she talks about furniture the same day. The appreciation is going to be forgotten because he now thinks it isn't good enough that he spent the last two days she has to have the furniture right away too.  In a nutshell, the husband is most likely going to feel that he isn't appreciated.  

HUSBAND: "It just doesn't matter how much I do or how much I make.  You'd just rather that I work forever till I die for all the money we need to get all this stuff when you know I hate my job.  There's just no pleasing you." 

The wife is quiet a moment.

WIFE:  Well, we were talking about getting new furniture, weren't we?   I keep having to wait to get things done when I would like them to get done but because I can't do it myself and I don't make the money that is needed then I have to wait till you feel like it.

The husband becomes angrier and even more defensive.  

HUSBAND:  I don't remember talking about going to get new furniture right away.  This all takes money you know.

WIFE:  Oh, I know!  It's just like that $25 per week you said I could have for an allowance each week.  That's the same amount of money my ex-husband used to give me . . . 20 years ago.  

Fortunately, the Wife realizes it's best not to say anything more to hurt their relationship and she decides to calmly leave the room before either of them says something they'll regret.

WIFE:  I need some alone time.  I'm going to our bedroom for a while to calm down.

This is a typical exchange between a husband and a wife.  Now granted it seems like a regular type of disagreement that spouses may have, but clearly there are feelings and perhaps misunderstandings that may be hidden in the conversation which left unaddressed are only going to grow, become bottled up and may possibly destroy the trust and communication between this couple.

So what happened here.  The man has been working on a home project that has taken time during two days out of his life.  While he may or may not be happy with the end result of this project, he may have spent money, time, energy and his own frustration to get this project done.  If it's a home project then it's very likely that this was a project that his wife wanted done as well for one reason or another.  Maybe it provided more spacing in a closet or closed off an unsightly wall or some ugly wiring.  If this is the case, the man may be proud that he did something for his wife and for his house.  From his statements he put some money into it and thought both he and his wife benefitted from what he had just done.  

So, we have a tired man who believes that this may have been a pretty good project to move things along at the house and to help his wife be happier with their home.  Now, whether she knows it or not a man needs to be proud of what he has done and hopefully have others be proud of it too, especially his wife if he was doing it to make his wife happy too.  For a man, I've learned myself that this period of time is usually a few days.  A man in this position usually doesn't want to hear about another project that involves either more time or money on the very day he's completed one project.  What this says to the husband is that the time, money and effort really weren't appreciated that much so let's get on to things that really make a difference.  In the end, mentioning another project or purchase right after one was just finished makes the husband feel as though his accomplishment is meager and that the appreciation wasn't genuine at all.

Now let's assume that this husband is a man who likes to please his wife and that when he hadn't done too much around the house for some time he started talking with her about new carpeting, doing some painting and getting some new furniture.

So what has happened here.  The wife is likely to be very excited about these things.  In fact, noone could blame her if she couldn't wait to get them all done.  Now here the husband has given the wife the impression, belief or hope that these things can be done.  She's excited and there's nothing wrong with that!  So now the wife has an expectation that her husband is going to follow through on the other things he talked about with her.  Now, here husband has told her that one thing is done and she's told him it looks great and thanks him.  Now, in the wife's mind it's okay to move on at least to talking about the next thing and so on.  The husband may have been referring to all these things in the long term or maybe over a period of six months but if he didn't specify any timeframe at all then how is his Wife to know that?  The fact is .... she can't!  She certainly isn't a mind reader.  When his wife gets excited when one thing is done by her husband.  Suddenly all the things her talked about seem possible.  The end result is that she gets more excited and so she naturally thinks its just fine to talk about one of the other things because her husband had been the one to mention them.  After all, if he mentioned them then it should be a safe topic for her to talk about, right?  It makes sense, doesn't it?

What the husband and wife need to understand here is that each of them processes things differently and they each have different inherent expectations about some things that they expect the other spouse to know about.  The husband got defensive and upset because he needed to have some time off between projects and he probably even needed time for himself to appreciate what he had done so he could regain momentum for something else he had mentioned to his wife.  The wife didn't know this because she didn't realize that her husband thinks this way and so she began talking about what was really a taboo subject right after the completion of one project.  

How can we know things like this?

How are wives supposed to know that their husbands most likely think like this and understand their responses and reactions?  And by the same token how are husbands supposed to understand that they may be the one that caused the wife to bring up the taboo subject in the first place?

The answer is as close as your local bookstore or library or even the internet.  Though there are many writers who write on the interactions between men and women.  It has become more important in today's age to understand the very fact that husbands and wives see, feel, understand, and experience things differently and therefore we process things differently.  As a result of these things, what we say, mean and expect may be very different.  We need to understand that we are opposite sexes not just by our anatomy but also in the very way our brain functions and how we interpret things.  

Men speak one language and Women speak another language.  When we learn to understand the language of the opposite sex then we can insure that we clear up these misunderstandings in communications and restore love and trust in the marriage relationship.

In this particular instance, the husband and wife would both be best left to calm down and approach each other with cool heads remembering the best things they love about their spouse and then try to come to terms with how they each felt about each of the things they each said and why they said them.  By sharing this particular dynamic honestly with each other, they will strengthen their marriage, their bond of trust and their understanding of each other to prevent possible future misunderstandings along the same lines.

Keeping these things bottled up is always detrimental to the relationship.  Bottled up emotions often cause anger, jealousy, unappreciation, and other negative emotions to fester and may cause spouses to relive or repeatedly bring up old incidents that simply exist because they were left unresolved by one or both spouses.  Communication and understanding is the key to any effect marriage in which love truly resides.

Make no mistake about it, I am no advocate for divorce.  However, if a divorce must take place and the parties need to go their separate ways, it is always my goal to bring the parties to a resolution without the destruction of either spouse, children involved in the relationship, or the family unit as a whole.

Men in Rhode Island Divorces - When it's Over for You it May Not Be for Her - A Woman's Scorn

Men involved in difficult Rhode Island divorces, especially those involving minor children, should be aware that even when the Final Judgment enters, this does not mean that the difficulties are over.

Bart and Sheila - A Divorce and Beyond 

Bart and Sheila were married for more than twenty (20) years.  They had two children who were still minors when Bart filed for divorce.

Bart felt he tried everything to keep the marriage together but finally he couldn't take it anymore.  He felt isolated from Sheila. They weren't friends.  They weren't lovers.  They weren't even good at co-parenting.  They had grown apart.  

Bart was a fairly successful stock broker who did well for himself and his family.  Even though Sheila had a degree in chemical engineering she had grown accustomed to Mark being the sole financial provider for the family.  Sheila had no interest in working.  Bart asked her several times to find employment and help with the finances so they could pay things off and retire early.  Sheila refused.

Bart became friends with his clients Sally and Mark Jensen who came to him after the stock market began to plummet.  They asked Bart to turn things around for them and save everything they had.  

While things deteriorated in Bart and Sheila's marriage, a brokerage fluke and fast plummet in the stock market caused Mark and Sally to lose just about everything they had.  Eventually Bart exhausted all options for Mark and Sally and feeling very sympathetic to them Bart explained to them that he had done everything he could but there was nothing more that could be done.  

Without their precious nestegg, Mark and Sally no longer remained his clients.

Bart's marriage had continued it's breakdown until Bart decided he could no longer remain married to Sheila.  Bart moved out of the marital home.  In Bart's heart and mind his marriage was done except for the legal formalities.

Divorce was filed during which Bart moved residences several times.  Each time, Bart's "residence" was broken into.  Bart found his documents and computer tampered with.  Even Bart's private office was vandalized.

Bart kept in touch with Mark and Sally and found out that they were divorcing as well.  Bart began to find interest in Sally and to spend time with her.  Suddenly, both Bart and Sally found their residences broken into and a strange man following them from time to time.

Sally became understandably unnerved, perhaps more so than Bart as he struggled to simply get through his divorce and move on with his life.

Things became more extreme as Sally found her personal computer invaded.

Bart tried to brush off all the coincidental violations that seemed to relate to his divorce even though his wife and her attorney were making him miserable despite his attempts to be amicable. 

Bart found himself in court over the next year defending himself against countless bogus motions that wasted his time, cost him money, and pressed his sanity.  Bart's relationship with Sally was getting harder to keep together as Sally became more and more vocal about her belief that Sheila was behind all the invasions in her life.

Finally the Final Judgment of Divorce entered in Bart's case.  It was a small sense of freedom.  Yet Bart was pulled back into court yet again with allegations that Bart had been violent toward Sheila. 

What Might Sheila Do?

Given the scenario I presented for this Rhode Island Divorce, if Bart were to marry Sally, immediately buy a home and then bring his childen to the home for visitation, what might Sheila do?

To understand the answer to the question is it necessary that we try to understand Sheila, so let's do that.

Based upon the information we have, Sheila had grown accustomed to being taken care of by Bart.  She could do what she wanted to do whenever she wanted to do it.  If Sheila wanted to go shopping, it seems that the money was there for her to indulge herself.  If Sheila did not want to work Sheila could tell Bart that she didn't want to work.  It actually seems that financially Sheila was not required to work in order for the bills to be paid and for her to enjoy the lifestyle to which she had become accustomed.

The above account of things would indicate that Sheila had become complacent and comfortable with her life.  Everything was familiar to her, allowed her substantial control without worry, gave her a feeling of financial security, and probably her own personal belief that she was loved, attractive, and that her world was stable.

Sheila had an advanced degree and had married a man in a reputable field of business and was the mother of two children.  There is nothing to indicate that Shiela was anything but confident and comfortable with who she was and had a strong self image.  Mark had remained married to Sheila for more than 20 years which provided historic long-term support that Sheila's healthy self image was justified.

If this makes sense regarding how Sheila sees things in her marriage with Bart, let's add the Rhode Island divorce to the mix.  Bart leaves the marital home and files for divorce.  

Sheila's Mindset?

Sheila probably no longer feels loved.  More likely, Sheila feels directly rejected.  Instead of feeling comfortable and complacent, Sheila can now see her financial stability and comfortable lifestyle crumbling.  Sheila may now feel that the control she once had had been ripped from her hands.  Bart has not only said he wanted a divorce, rather he has taken an affirmative step confirming that he fully intends to proceed down that path.  Suddenly, Sheila does not know what the future will bring.  For the first time in years she has to think about things that Bart always took care of.  Sheila may no longer have the power to say that she doesn't want to work.  In fact, because of Bart's decision she literally have to get a job.

Sheila sees her comfort zone going out the window.  She may believe that Bart is ripping her very comfortable lifestyle from her.  Bart is tearing away her control.  Bart is literally yanking the stability out from under her after more than twenty years.  She no longer feels comfortable.  Sheila feels rejection, fear, panic, discomfort, and uncertainty about the future will bring and how she will survive.  

Sheila, perhaps for the first time in decades, is now being forced to deal with what many of us already deal with on a daily basis.  It could very well be that Sheila does not take responsibility for these feelings or for the breakdown of the marriage itself.  Why?  Because perhaps in Sheila's mind she has not done anything to change anything.  It is only Bart's actions that caused this change.  Sheila did not want any change and yet she is being forced into change that she may see as being out of her control.

In the end, Sheila may simply feel that Bart is at fault.  Some women see what Bart has done as personal rejection.  To Sheila, Bart has indirectly told her that she is not good enough to be with him, that she is not attractive enough to be with him, that she is substandard and she deserves better.  In essence, some women believe they are being told "you are broken."  

To a woman who has a strong sense of self, acceptance of a marital breakdown may trigger even deeper.  A woman's rationalization process does not involve logic but a rather a strong belief that it wasn't a matter of not being a good wife, mother or partner, but rather that there must be someone else.  

She may not want to believe she has in any way participated in the collapse of the marriage from her husband's view and she may hold fast to the idea that she did everything right.  If this occurs in Sheila's mind then another shift takes place.  It is a very dangerous shift which heightens Sheila's anger at Bart and any other person that Sheila believes he may have been involved in.  I call this the "Other Woman Syndrome."

Sheila's mindset may be so engrained in her complacent and comfortable lifestyle that her own self-image  refuses to take any personal responsibility for the breakdown of the relationship.  In this case, Sheila adhere's to the belief that that there MUST BE another woman.  

Sheila may go so far even to create "another woman" or imply affairs with other women to justify her divorce to herself or other people because she cannot accept that the relationship has broken down for reasons that have nothing to do with anything other than the fact that Bart is no longer happy.  Sheila may even use "another woman" to paint herself as a victim and attract sympathy and attention from the court or from others in order to replace the comfort she previously had and regain control by trying to damage Bart's image or reputation in court or in the community simply to make herself feel better.  These are only a minor way in which a woman's anger rises to the level of a scorned woman, in which case anything may be possible from a woman such as Sheila. 

In my scenario of Mark and Sheila's Rhode Island divorce, the single action of Mark's decision to leave the house, or to proceed to divorce court may cause Sheila to 

(1) become angry by Mark's rejection;

(2) become extremely fearful of what her future is going to be like;

(3) believe there is another woman and undertake measures to find any way possible to find another woman (even if there isn't one) to blame the failed marriage on;

(4) become bitter and vengeful against Sally and anyone associated with her and try to hurt her (and those associated with Sally) physically, emotionally, mentally, financially and in any way possible to "get back at" Sally for ruining her marriage and her life;

(5) become angry by Bart's attempts and/or ability to move forward with his life and want to hurt Mark as well as anyone  to make Mark feel as unstable, unsafe, and hurt inside as Sheila herself feels;

(6) neglect her children knowing it will hurt Bart to see the children hurting and try to shift the blame of the children's pain on Bart for causing their neglect by going forward with the divorce;

These are just a few of the possibilities arising from the Rhode Island divorce and the marital breakdown.

In truth, mental instability can give an indication of suicidal tendencies of the wife, killing minor children to get back at the husband and cause him guilt, a combination of the two, cutting brake lines in the ex-spouses car or the new wife of an ex-spouse, harming the children of a new spouse, physical injuries to herself as the ex-wife and countless other things which may in the mind of a person such as Sheila cause Bart pain, anguish or sorrow.   

Any evidence of instability by a wife during the course of the divorce is an indicator that future difficulties may not only arise, but may worsen.  

 

Understanding Bart!

Bart is not a vindictive man though he may get angry at times when truly pushed to his limit.  He is or at least tries to be optimistic and seeks only to move forward with his own life without causing others pain.  Bart looks for the best in everything around him and tries to "take everything as it comes."  Bart is a man who does not see the world as "doom and gloom" but does know that there are those sides of life that are not too pleasant.   However, men like Bart believe that moving forward with one's own life without "aggravating" or "intentionally hurting" others is the best route.  In essence, Bart rides the wave when it comes with the belief that it will eventually end and your surfboard will coast gently onto the sandy beach.  

Bart does not realize that there are those who may see his actions as hurtful even if his intentions and his actions do not outwardly show that he is in any way trying to be hurtful.  

Bart's greatest challenge in his divorce and his life perspective is that he does not consciously adopt the notion that others are vindictive and vengeful probably because he is not a vengeful or vindictive person himself. 

Non-Legal Advice

Let's assume that I already know of all the circumstances about Bart's marriage and divorce including his ex-wife's behavior, the break-ins, the person who was following him and Sally, etc.  Bart approaches me several months after his Final Judgment of Divorce has entered.  Bart tells me that he is remarried, that he just bought a house, and that he is looking forward to surprising his children by showing them their new bedrooms next weekend at the new house he and his wife bought. 

I congratulate Bart on his new marriage and the house.  Then I ask Bart if his ex-wife knows that he remarried and bought the house.  Bart says that she'll know soon enough so he didn't want to rock the boat.

As a caring person and professional I would be less than a good person or lawyer if I didn't offer this little piece of non-legal advice to Bart in such a situation.

"Bart, I don't want to dampen your spirits but you may have just started the Running of the Bulls in Spain. . . you've got a red bullseye taped to ass, and unfortunately you picked the only running shoes on the planet made entirely of solid lead."
