💬 “He wants $2,000 a month in alimony — after abandoning us, not paying child support, and selling everything we owned?”

That was the message I got from a woman doing it all alone.

Here’s What Really Happened:

Her husband left after a domestic violence incident.
He moved across the country without saying a word.
He never paid a single dollar in child support.
He sold both family cars.
He sold the business they built together.

Now?
He’s hired an attorney and is demanding she pay him $2,000 a month in alimony.

Meanwhile, she’s holding the entire household together.

She’s working three jobs to support their two kids.
She filed for divorce without an attorney.
She only asked for child support—nothing more.

His response?

👉 “I won’t pay support — but you owe me $2,000 a month.”

When Your Ex Tries to Flip the Script

This isn’t just unfair. It’s a manipulation tactic.

He’s hoping she’ll panic. That she won’t know her rights. That she’ll give in because she’s exhausted and overwhelmed.

But not on my watch.

As a Marriage Exit Strategist, I help women prepare for these exact situations before they even hire a lawyer.

And as a North Carolina divorce attorney, I use strategic evidence to shut down claims like this in court.

What to Do When He Tries to Claim Alimony

Here’s the first step I tell every client:

🔍 Start building a job and income timeline for your spouse.

This isn’t busywork — it’s your defense.

That timeline can show the court:

• Whether your spouse chose to stop working

• Whether they’re underemployed on purpose

• Whether they’re hiding income or assets

With that information, I ask the judge to impute income — meaning the court pretends he’s earning what he should be earning, even if he isn’t.

And that makes a huge difference when it comes to whether you owe him anything.

You Shouldn’t Be Punished for Being the Responsible One

If you’re the one:

✅ Showing up
✅ Supporting the kids
✅ Paying the bills

You should not be penalized while your spouse avoids responsibility.
