Here's some food for thought.  I just got off the phone with SSA.  It now is a typical practice that Courts are ordering the SSA to garnish benefits.  However, the only way these bimbos can collect is if you apply for benefits.  I'm wondering if you choke them out for a couple of years, they may rethink their strategy and get remarried, especially if they're not working.  Of course you'll go into arrears, but what about the money that you can save during those years that you're not paying?  And more importantly, if SS benefits are your only means of income after the age of 62, can the courts actually take your entire monthly benefit to pay him/her?

If anyone knows the answer to this question, I would like to get your feedback.

 

Also, if you start choking them out, whatever money you can put aside, start a Roth IRA.  These types of IRA's are not taxable, and usually give a good return.  My understanding is State governments cannot touch your retirement fund, only during the initial dissolution of marriage, may they freeze it until it is dispersed according to the final judgment.

 

It's a shame that I have to sit here and think about ways for my husband to be released from his servitude to his ex bimbo, but since the courts are not willing to face this unconstitutional law, I have no choice.

 

Here's an example:

 

A man goes back to court for elimination or reduction of alimony because his ex is shacking with another guy.  The man brings supporting documentation proving that the ex in fact is co-habitating with another person and that there is a supportive relationship.  He also brings his new family with him...wife and children.

 

Here's the judge's response:

 

"Sorry about your luck, Sport, you should have thought about your court-ordered alimony payments before you started a new life for yourself.  Hopefuly, you'll be smart enough the second time around not to get yourself into this situation".  "You don't deserve to be happy with a new life, you have to remain tied to your old life so WE THE PEOPLE don't have to pick up the tab".
