No.........covenant marriage is relatively new.........
I agree a party that commits adultery should never get alimony.....but they do.......quite often..but again adultery has no bearing there either......alimony is a little greyer than support. Alimony is a judgement on the mother's ability to have/gain/increase income.

The courts say that the children's lifestyle must be maintained.

Support is based on a formula that (and I am summorizing) states X percentage of total income is needed to raise a child.

let's play some numbers.......
Total income is 100K
Dad 70 mom 30
It takes 30% of total income to raise the children (it's a higher percentage for the first child and less for each additional child)

So 30K a year.......dad makes 70% so dad sends mom 2100 a month.

mom, because it's less........has no one to send money too.

now.......what I think is a great idea is to make BOTH parties put their share into a "childs" account and issue debit cards to EACH parent to spend when they have the kids.......and be accountable ........

It would be a great first move.
Spouse who get the child support have no responsibility to the payer as to where the money is going.

So mom, can .....as a single mom.......in this state .....regardless os Child support.......get free lunches for the kids........and get her nails done once a month with the rest...........ask me how I know
