There’s a new push to end lifetime alimony in New Jersey, something a number of other states are considering as well. But is this a good idea? Judge Jeanine Pirro thinks so, saying, “Alimony is based on this archaic notion, generally, that women gave up their careers, they gave up the chance to work, to get into the work force and when they get divorced, they don’t have that chance to get back into the work force. Therefore, they got alimony or spousal support.”

Now that times have changed, the laws are outdated. Pirro suggested a modification to the law, saying, “You put 25 years in, you should have to pay 25 years. Or you were married for seven years, you have to pay 7 years. But the whole idea of lifetime … you could do a lot worse things and get out of jail sooner.”
