Quick Public Service Announcement, ie PSA: If you're a guy, get married, and then divorce your wife, don't ask for spousal support. That's just assed up. Your parents or someone in your family, hell, maybe even adopted, what have you, THOSE people helped you grow into existing as an adult thus far. Having a woman financially support you when you have no kids you're taking care of with her just smacks of being a leech. Go take care of yourself and leave your divorced woman alone. No need to take the money like she's now your financial mommy. Just thinking that gives me all sorts of creepiness and icks. My mom and grandma raised me and spent money on me until I supported myself, and no one else is gonna replace them, especially financially. I'll make it myself, if I was stupid enough to get married and then divorced. But reality speaking, I'll never do that, just like I'll never have anyone living with me, because the law seems to favor the assholes and involuntarily enduring them.
