How exactly does alimony and child support work, and why does it seem like it’s always men who pay it to women, and never the other way around?
In: 0
It’s because of the wage gap. Men tend to make more money than women still, and so it is more common that the man has to make payments to the woman. Plenty of woman have had to make spousal support payments (alimony is an outdated term) because they earn more than their ex-husband. Which spouse has to pay how much depends on the sate and their divorce laws, but it’s a function of the income of each.
