I'll add to this: you don't necessarily have to get married for this to apply. In most (all?) Australian jurisdictions, living with someone for enough time is enough to establish you as defacto - which for almost all intents and purposes is just like being married.

- dendriti 5y agoAustralia absolutely does have laws on the books for alimony, aka spousal maintenance.
- AussieWog93 5y agoHoly shit, we do. Never actually met anyone who had to pay it, though.
- llampx 5y agoIt is hilarious that you confidently assert something completely wrong that could have been researched with a simple google search.

- steve_taylor 5y agoWe have both of those things here.
- austhrow743 5y agoWe have child support but I assume by ridiculous arrangements they meant were don’t have uncapped child support and it’s also income based not earning potential based. No getting trapped in a job you hate. No pretending it costs hundreds of thousands a year to raise a kid.
- AussieWog93 5y ago>No getting trapped in a job you hate. No pretending it costs hundreds of thousands a year to raise a kid. Yeah, this is basically what I meant. You don't see the crazy situations like they have in the US where dads are driven into bankruptcy by obscene alimony/child support payments. At worst, it's a pain in the arse.
