Bro HonkyTonkyMan always refer to his own divorce (like me); that is more responsible, drawing on one's own experience for reference rather than hearsay.
I would rather read what he posted and then check with the lawyer to make it don't happen (to me).

That's unfortunate for Honky, and as you and he said later, unusual.
The norm is that once the quantum of spousal maintenance is ascertained, it takes unusual circumstances to get it varied, and it is certainly not a case of an ex wife being able to claim more purely on a 'dont want to work' basis.
Perhaps he could share more about his situation in the interest of information sharing.
