She has a small income, but it does not appear that alimony was allowed her in the divorce proceedings.
The alimony which had hitherto been allowed was no longer considered adequate. The discourse, though learned, was not edifying.
The ninety and nine would have subjected me to the acid test of matrimony, with the later and inevitable alimony.
The wife would find it out, there would be a row, with court proceedings, alimony and all the rest of it.
Once a separation decree was granted the records tend to fall silent, unless there was subsequent disagreement about the payment of alimony.
The husband would be forced to pay his wife alimony for the rest of his life.
Rather, they ask the legal system for protection, separation and/or alimony at a moment when there is nothing left to conciliate.
