"Crucial to the
decision in this case is that the court's order arose in a
dissolution proceeding involving a request for permanent
financial relief. "Since marriage is of vital interest to
society and the state, it has frequently been said that in
every divorce suit "the state is a third party whose
interests
take precedence over the private interests of the spouses."

The Alliance For Freedom From Alimony, Inc. is
the leading group in the country working to reform the alimony
laws in order to abolish "lifetime Alimony" that has
forced spouses into a life of involuntary servitude and peonage
that has ruined the
lives of hundreds of thousand of spouses who are obligated to
pay that alimony.
We are fighting in the courts and and in the legislature
attempting to make changes to the alimony laws.
In recent months, many people have joined our
ranks in the efforts to change the laws. Most recently, our new
thrust towards reform is in the direction of filing lawsuits seeking a Declaratory Judgments that the present alimony
statutes violate the state constitutions. This avenue is open to
anyone paying alimony and we feel it will be quite effective to
get our message to the right people who can effect a change. Our
successes in this area will have a ripple effect throughout the
nation.
If you are seeking relief from the burdens of
alimony payments, it will be to your advantage to join in with
our efforts to fight for relief from "lifetime alimony." See
what others of our group have done by viewing the cases filed.Some of the same arguments used by them can be incorporated
into your case documents should you decide to challenge the
constitutionality of your state's alimony statutes. By doing
this, you will let the courts know they are stepping on your
rights and this will allow you to fight back.
