Chapter 868: So-called Alimony

Chao Jie's words dealt Li Huifang a heavy blow.

The truth often hurts the most.

But she still had hope in her heart.

"That rich person? They always have to pay alimony."

As soon as she said that, many people realized the woman's true nature.

"Is this a Luo Jie?"

Before Chao Jie could speak, Bao Jie came out.

"In this world, at any time, you have to rely on yourself; I've never heard the saying 'rely on people and they'll run, rely on mountains and they'll fall.'"

"I've been in Yingjiang for over ten years."

"Rich person? Have you heard of a prenuptial property notarization?"

"It's similar to our prenuptial property."

"It's even less than our prenuptial property."

"Our prenuptial property at least protects assets within the marriage."

"For example, if he started a company before marriage and earned a lot of money during the marriage, that money must be divided."

"But in Yingjiang, for property notarized before marriage, you have no right to the benefits generated during the marriage, or only a limited right."

"You can see this from the news."

"For example, a person surnamed Deng gained hundreds of millions upon divorce; the exact amount is unknown due to a confidentiality agreement, but it's roughly hundreds of millions."

"These hundreds of millions include not only property but also alimony."

"What does that equate to? For an ordinary family, upon divorce you only get one car."

"Do you know about South Korea? A conglomerate divorces his wife, and she not only gets no property but ends up being killed."

"A rich person might give you some extra money, but they won't pay alimony endlessly."

"This principle is the same everywhere."

"In China, rich people divorcing, women actually get a larger share."

"Even if a woman tricks a man into divorce, she can still take all the property."

"This is impossible in Yingjiang; Yingjiang lawyers can find countless unreasonable points to invalidate the property division, and can even countersue you for fraud."

"Moreover, if you are at fault, not only will your alimony claim not be supported, but property division will heavily favor the innocent party."

"Furthermore, in Yingjiang, whether it's a contract or property division, you need a lawyer; trying to trick a man into giving up his property is difficult."

"What Yang Lao said is quite right; domestic news about alimony is unreliable, just clickbait."

"Just take a look; are you serious?"

Li Huifang couldn't believe it.

"How is that possible?"

"You're just talking nonsense."

"Isn't Yingjiang's law supposed to protect women?"

At that moment, the lawyer sister came out.

"Hello, I'm a lawyer in Yingjiang."

"I can answer your doubts."

"Yingjiang's law does indeed protect women, especially housewives."

"If you are a housewife and have no fault,"

"you can receive alimony."

"However, this alimony is not what you think."

"If, at divorce, you choose to raise the children, you do receive alimony, similar to what Chao Jie said—essentially a nanny fee."

"If you do not raise the children, you not only have to pay child support, but alimony is unlikely to be granted."

"Unless the spouses' income disparity is very large."

"For example, if he earns one million a month and you earn a few thousand, then you might receive alimony."

"But this duration is limited; the online claim that payments continue until the other remarries is nonsense."

"In my place, it's generally half the length of the marriage."

"For example, if you were married ten years, you can receive it for five years."

"Of course, if you earn more, you also have to pay alimony to the man; alimony is gender-neutral."

"Moreover, alimony is also limited."

"It cannot exceed 40% of income."

"And it's after tax."

"If there are children, you also need to subtract the child support amount."

"If there are many children and their child support exceeds 40% of his income, then regardless of your situation, you get no alimony."

"Moreover, you have to pray that he doesn't have more children."

"In Yingjiang, many people go bankrupt because they have too many children and can't afford child support."

"At that point, you not only have no alimony, but also no child support."

"Furthermore, in Western countries, many people who don't want to pay child support or alimony choose to disappear."

"That is, they run away; you can't contact them, so you can't get alimony, let alone child support."

"So, in reality, very few people can actually obtain alimony."

"If he feels too much pressure, he will indeed run away."

"So ordinary people, in order to cover child-rearing expenses, won't be too hardline on alimony."

Good heavens, Li Huifang's worldview shattered; her beautiful dream, ah, just shattered like that.

"Good heavens, this is so tragic, who would still get married?"

it girl.

"You think that? Western countries, their marriage rate itself isn't high!"

"You wouldn't think Westerners also have parents pressuring marriage, right?"

"Marriage pressure isn't that common here."

"When children grow up, parents won't interfere too much in their lives."

"The West really isn't as you imagine."

"If you encounter trash, they'll even cheat you out of all your wealth."

"Because marriage rates are low and birth rates are low, the West is loosening immigration."

"Haven't you heard? The blast furnace is about to change color."

"Yingjiang and Kan Da Na are even more countries supported by immigration."

"Never mind, who would want to get married?"

"Anyway, people like us with decent income don't have much desire to marry."

At this moment, the housewife spoke up.

"Actually, there are still people willing to marry."

"The West's childbirth policies are relatively good."

"Having Children not only can be tax-exempt, but also can receive child support."

"It still has some appeal to ordinary people."

"Especially for low-income groups, having children can improve family life."

"Originally a middle-income salary, having more children could make you low-income."

"Low-income groups enjoy more benefits."

"Low-income groups, healthcare is truly free, plus various subsidies, material assistance, etc."

"If there are no benefits, who would still want to raise children?"

Housewife, even after divorce, relying on these benefits, can still live more or less.

"Of course, this isn't worthwhile for wealthy women."

"Or to put it another way, childbirth is a harm to high‑career women anywhere."

"This is also the reason why, even though these developed countries have such good childbirth benefits, their birth rate remains low."

"Because career women basically don't care about these benefits."

"Men, most also don't want to become househusbands."
