The story of a Florida woman whose ex-husband is asking for $2,500 in monthly support payments is being used to highlight the debate over whether or not women should be expected to make alimony payments to their former spouses.  The woman is quick to point out that she is not opposed to women paying alimony, but questions whether her husband, who was recently laid off from a job at which he made $85,000 a year, was deserving of the payments.

Women being ordered by divorce courts to pay alimony to their former husbands is on the rise, showing a shift in public opinion about a woman's place in the workplace and in a marriage.
