My ex-brother-in-law got divorced from my sister after 12 years of marriage. He makes $175k a year working for the school system. No kids and he got stuck paying 10 years of alimony AND when he retires he has to give her 30% of his pension. They got married in their 40s so he's going to pay alimony for 10 years, work another 5-10 years, and when he retires he's probably going to end up giving her $40-50k a year... till she dies!
All because they were married for 12 years. They didn't even have kids. Like how insane is that?
