I hope he wins the appeal.

He needs to ask his state rep to sponsor legislation to add domestic partnerships to the law.

Yup. I'm all for gay marriage.. but that means EQUALS under the law.. this guy should not be paying alimony if his wife has re-married (common-law or otherwise).

This is the flip-side of patriarchical thinking: the idea that women are necessarily rudderless without a man and therefore need to milk one man or another for life. : { ) It works to the detriment of both, but in this case, especially of him.

Makes me wonder what generation the judge grew up in.

If I were her wife, I think that would just piss me off to no end. Why do you continue to let your ex-husband support you...when you're MY wife now?

Not fair or right...or just.
