As slimy and nasty as DeSantis is, this doesn’t sound crazy. Who thought permanent alimony was a good idea on the first place? So you divorce, ex-spouse pays you, and they never get to retire or quit their job because you want their money until you die? Why not allow compromises or change? Even paying child support isn’t permanent.
Permanent alimony is a relic from when women stayed home and cooked and cleaned. It prevented them from being kicked to the curb without two pennies to rub together.
Now that women are more independent and have joined the work force I think they should be responsible for their own backup plan
Party that constantly votes against their own interest suddenly aware of losing their rights.
Who’d have guessed it would have taken these idiots this long to figure it all out?
I am still always surprised when reporters find women who vote Republican. How can they not see that to them they are either viewed as property or second class citizens?
To Floridan Republican Women, “HAVE YOU NOT BEEN PAYING ATTENTION?!”
but I didn’t think the face eating leopard party would eat my face!

Not a lot of activity but this will do. Thank you
As much as I hate this schmuck, the proposed law isn’t bad on the surface. I’d be furious if I had to work past retirement to keep supporting an ex wife whom I divorced decades prior. Like I get the intent of alimony, but to me it seems quite a bit outdated when most working households have both adults having their own careers. And if a couple divorces, why should the breadwinner have to pay to maintain the other’s lifestyle instead of a stipend until the other gets on their feet. I’d be raging if I was busting my ass to keep making money, and her insta feed is nothing but her going shopping and having spa days on my dime.
Get a prenuptial agreement or don’t marry a woman with no moral respect for anyone but herself. (Yes there are exceptions to this.) But I’ve seen too many men and women choose partners that are obviously terrible human beings, then go full surprised when that person ruined their lives. I have a friend that is still paying for her ex-husbands life style. I feel bad but all of her friends and family told her not to marry that guy but she doubled down and is on the hook until he marries again.
Problem is, you can end up with someone who isn’t a piece of shit but turns into one, or was always a piece of shit but they hid it well.
A lady I know had to divorce her husband after he had a stroke and turned into a raging, abusive narcissist. I can only imagine how confusing and painful it was for her.
That sounds absolutely horrifying, seeing someone you love turn into someone else, that too due to no fault of their own.
LOL of course alimony is all it take to flip women
Seems pretty reasonable to me. Not sure why this has such a bad reception. Guess people just don’t like Desantis.
