  In this episode I interview New York City divorce attorney Morghan Richardson, who comments on the recent state senate ruling which DRAMATICALLY slashes the income cap used for calculating alimony payments from $543,000 to $175,000 -- plus factors in child support into the calculations. Bottom line: Rich, lesser-earning spouses -- nearly always wives -- of rich men in New York can no longer expect big, fat alimony checks. Judges -- especially female judges, Richardson observes -- are telling stay-at-home moms to get jobs. "They have very little sympathy for people who are not learning in," says Richardson. "Women on the bench worked extremely hard to get there, and they have less sympathy for somebody focused only on family life." I also interview Dana Lim, a California mom of two who turned down significant alimony and child support when she divorced -- even though she;d been a stay-at-home mom and had little earning potential at first. Things were so dire she couldn't afford to eat some days. But today Lim is grateful for her decision, which she says pushed her to take professional risks that paid off. She also credits her positive co-parenting relationship with her ex, who she says has dramatically improved his involvement with their kids, in part because there is no money complicating their arrangement.   

Host Tiffany Williams-Jallow, New York City divorce attorney, mediator and creator of TheDivorceArtist.com, Morghan Richardson discuss the fairness of current child support laws, paternity fraud, how to put a stop to deadbeat moms and dads once and for all and more. Plus, celebrity guest Erica Dixon of VH1's "Love and Hip Hop Atlanta" will update the Relationships360 family on her ongoing child support case with her daughter's father hip hop artist Lil Scrappy.

With the exception of abuse, divorce is a luxury.  I was acutely aware of this over the past six or so months when my ex and I were getting along really well. We were solid co-parents and I remembered how much we have in common as people. I appreciated how hard it can be for kids to shuttle between two homes. I also appreciated how it was thanks to sufficient funds -- no matter how tight they could be -- that afforded us the luxury of living separately.  While I had no interest in re-connecting romatically, I sometime wondered if it was worth inflicting all the stress of on the kids to live apart. Sometimes I understood why people go Euro -- maintain long-term marriages while pursuing romantic interests separately.  I'm not the only one to think this -- there has been plenty written about the fact that divorce rates correlate inversely with unemployment rates. In other words, for every 1 percent uptick in unemployment, divorce rates dip 1 percent. The poorer they are, the more they are willing to put up with their spouse -- even if trying finances makes marriage harder.  During the recent recession, the NPR-Kaiser Family Foundation found that more than 20 percent of Americans who had been without work for more than a year claimed their close relationships suffered, and more than 30 percent said their financial difficulties have had a profound negative impact on their partners' health and well-being.  None of this is surprising, as throughout history most people simply could not afford to divorce -- most especially women, who were likely critical to the family finances, but oft had little economic power. Today we do, and women file the majority of divorces, figures that are dramatically higher for college-educated women, of whom 90 percent are the divorce filers,  according to some statistics. In other words, when you feel broke, you stay, and when you feel like you have money in your pocket, and things get tough, you are more likely to leave.  In this podcast my friend and Astoria, New York family lawyer Morghan Richardson called in to share her experience dealing with divorcing couples -- many of whom have no idea how much the process will cost ($44,000 on average, nationally!), much less the cost of running two households. Stay-at-home parents or a partner who chooses to not to be involved in the family finance are especially naive about this reality.  Caller Alan can speak to the accessibility of divorce when there is plenty of money. His ex-wife stunned him when she asked to separate to pursue another relationship.
