I believe alimony should be abolished. CMV.

After a divorce, I believe people should divide what's theirs and part ways. I think it's insane to expect a person to pay the other to maintain a certain lifestyle they grew to expect while in an intimate and legal relationship. Just because one of them makes more than the other doesn't mean the less financially well off person deserves "their cut." Yes, if there is a big gap in their wages one is going to be better off after the divorce and I could see how that's not fair. However, that's life; some people are very wealthy, some are very poor, and most are somewhere in the middle.

I'm not saying it can't be done voluntarily and this has nothing to do with child support, but being forced to pay out of pocket to support a perfectly capable human being after ties with them have been severed just doesn't make any sense to me. So, change my view if possible.

You can't just inspect the ownership of possessions at a superficial level like you're doing though. Yes, you could split up everything 50/50, or whatever split is deemed appropriate, but many decisions made during the marriage have effects that last long after. What if one spouse decided to forgo college or a career to raise a child at home while the other went and worked? In that case the stay at home parent would now be punished for a decision they made together during the marriage. Due to lack of training they might be completely unable to support themself because the couple built their lives together under the assumption that one income would cover both of them.
