The U.S. census data support that alimony reform is a men-and-women issue. More than 96 percent of alimony recipients are women. Many of these women have given their life blood to care for their families so that the men could earn higher incomes to support their families. Now, late in the marital history, women are told they aren't equal partners and shouldn't have their constitutional right to court access because it is "too complicated" to decide a just and equitable result for each family.
