The state of today’s economy is one factor that makes me think spousal support may still serve a purpose. With so many people struggling to find jobs, it would be unfortunate to be a stay-at-home spouse and find yourself suddenly divorced and unable to find employment.
However whatever assistance is provided should be temporary. Rehabilitative alimony, as they call it, which is support given to a lesser-earning spouse for a period of time necessary to acquire work outside the home and become self-sufficient, should be the standard in spousal support cases, not the exception.
In your opinion, Is Spousal Support Still Necessary?

it's necessary if the husband was the sole financial provider during the marriage... however it should be limited to 1- 2 yrs, that should be sufficient time for the woman to gain her independence again...
