Fork It Over, Honey

While much news has been made of sky-high divorce settlements for ex-wives—Heather Mills got more than $40 million from Paul McCartney, John Cleese is said to be paying his ex-wife $150,000 a month—the latest trend is what some divorce lawyers are calling “manimony.”

With more women in the workforce than ever before and the idea of being a stay-at-home-dad losing it’s stigma, it’s becoming more common to see men being awarded significant amounts of alimony, although many are still reluctant to seek it out. According to a source in this CNN article, 33% of women are the higher-earning spouse, while only 4% of women are the ones who end up paying alimony. But, say many in the legal field, that number is increasing.

Guys, would you accept alimony from your wife? Ladies, how would you feel about paying it? [Cnn.com]
