Or else you might have some dirtbag attorney like the one quoted in this article handling the other parties case. It seems as if they want to make alimony last longer and be higher in quantity if there is a professional degree involved...

I am glad my ex and me were smart enough to stay away from divorce attornies, what a bunch of dirtbag piles of human refuse.

Couples grappling with divorce are discovering that the potential value of a professional degree is not easily shared with a spouse, like a piece of real estate. Jilted spouses are learning that they can't cash in on their spouse's professional degree when they break up.
University of Utah law professor Linda Smith says it is a mistake for alimony to be strictly limited to the number of years a couple is married.
"I do think the court should have broader equitable authority to order alimony for a longer period of time," she said.
She says the courts only recognize verbal agreements between spouses for about a year.
Should you have signed a prenuptial agreement before you rushed to the altar?
"I think having a contract that says what's going to happen if we get divorced may make sense if you're Brittany Spears," Smith said.

Ali-bologna is what it really is. I have already told my wife that if she cheats on me and thinks she is getting a farcking dime in our divorce I will just have her killed. It will be easier and cheaper.

Fear keeps people loyal IMO.

Alibologna was created for the "weaker" sex, but the "weaker" sex want equal rights. Isnt that a little ironic?

My wife up until recently worked for a Divorce Attorney.. Most of the time it is not the Attorney that is going for more $$ it is one of the parties involved. The richer the people the more they fight for everything they can get. My wife used to complain about the women that would freak out because now their Clothes, hair and beauty product allowance went from 3K a month to 2K a month in the Alimony settlement ERRG? Oh yes.. if you are in Utah and married longer than 3 years that Prenuptial you had your significant other sign.. well it is useless prenups are only for the first 3 years in case the marriage was fraudulent or something similar.

I have an Idea.. why don't people just have a longer engagement period and getting to know you period than the average 3 months... Seriously if all you are doing is getting married so you can get laid you have other problems you need to look at first :)

This is Utah. That is totally out of the question.

You have 90 days from becoming an RM to get engaged, 90 days to marry, and 90 days to get knocked up.

Any less is a disappointment.

My starter wife tried to pull that crap on me. We were married less than a year, had no kids together, but she still asked for alimony.... claimed it was "customary" in Utah. :rofl:

I hired an attorney, who promptly contacted her attorney to say "try again, if you try to go to court over the issue to contest, we will ask for all attorney fees to be paid by your client"... My attorney knew that my wife's alimony request would be thrown out of court.

A few days later (after and after being advised by her attorney) she signed the divorce docs without contesting anything. :)

My attorney mentioned (at the time) that it was becoming increasingly difficult to obtain alimony in Utah. :D

Furthermore, the U of U attorney mentioned in the article sounds like a dirtbag to me too!

I'm happy with being a disappointment. :greg:

but dude, your life is a mess because of it. I mean, how do you even get up in the morning to ride your motorcycle 200 miles in those mountains? How do you even stomach all that time you've spent with your lovely wife in Mexico? And think of all those years you wasted exploring the west and having good times with good people!

You should be at the DI looking for a nice pair of used kicks for your 3rd son Lehi's upcoming fall soccer league. Failure.
