CKP 3rd Gear October 25, 2011 Share October 25, 2011 以妻月入过万为由 丈夫拒付1元赡养费 月入5000元的丈夫以妻子更会赚钱为由，不肯支付1元的象征式赡养费。（图／档案照） 高职夫妻结束17年的婚姻，丈夫认为妻子更会赚，拒绝支付1元赡养费。 这名妻子今年43岁，在某公司担任高级副总裁，月入过万。丈夫今年40岁，是一名董事，月入5000多元。 法庭资料显示，妻子的收入比丈夫高，而且总资产达62万元，而丈夫的只有25万元，每个月必须支付1850元还债，银行户头中更不足100元。 由于妻子赚钱能力比他高，因此丈夫不肯付1元的象征式赡养费，上诉却遭驳回。 法官认为，妻子在17年的婚姻中有一定的付出，因此应该有获得赡养费的权利。 妻子爆出，丈夫理财不当，欠债高达10万元，她曾借出3万元给他偿还车子贷款，风水及旅行费。 完整报道，请翻阅21.10.2011《新明日报》。 http://news.omy.sg/News/Local%2BNews/Story...535-285052.html A highly paid couple filed for divorce, ending their 17 year marriage. The husband refuses to pay the nominal $1 alimony because the wife earn much more than him. Wife is 43yo, currently a senior vice president earning more than $10,000. Husband is 40yo, a director earning 5k+. According to the court, the wife's total assets is at 620k while the husband has only 250k. The husband also need to pay a $1850 per month loan and has only $100 left in his bank. Due to the wife's much higher earning capacity, the husband has applied to not pay the $1 alimony, but his request has been rejected by the courts. The judge felt that in the 17years of marriage, the wife has definitely contributed something, and therefore is entitled to alimony. The wife alleged that the husband is not good with money, and had incurred a debt of over 100k. She also had to loan him 30k for his car loan, family tours and feng shui consultation. The guy does not want to be trapped in the future to pay more? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CKP 3rd Gear October 25, 2011 Author Share October 25, 2011 Take it this way, If they live to 1mil years,he will have to pay 12mil dollars.That's a sum. the reason to ask for $1 alimony is to keep open the option to ask for more alimony in future. if the wife agrees to give up even the $1 alimony, then in essence, she gives up all future right to ask for more as she has waive the right and intention to ever ask for alimony. when the ex-wife decides to ask for $1 alimony, it is a symbol. of course the wife does not need $1 monthly as alimony. it is to keep the option open as it will be the case, when she decides to ask for more in future, that she has been entitled to alimony all along and now that her or her ex-husband's circumstances have changed (e.g. she needs more money or the ex-husband has become richer and can afford to pay more), she is entitled to more alimony.
