How do Judges in the UK have such discretionary sweeping powers????
That is a good question. In the US there are very few states where you can get alimony (spousal support) for life. I know that spousal support, in my state, is only for a few years of transition, only if the spouse was out of the workforce for a significant period of time. I have heard of 4 years or 7 years, coming off the back of a 20-30 year marriage, but this shit is crazy.
