There’s no happier alliteration than Florida Friday!
Just when you’re feeling a little down in the doldrums and wondering if this Friday is ever going to get into full gear so that you can hit the weekend, our favorite state helps us out once again. This time, we look to one Lawrence Roach, who was married to his wife for 17 years. Things eventually petered out, and 18 months ago they got divorced. Since then, Roach has been paying her $1,200 per month in alimony. Now, a year and a half later, he would like to stop making these payments. Why for, you ask?
Well it seems the ex Mrs. Roach has become the ex Mr. Roach - Lawrence’s unidentified ex-wife had herself a sex change. And Roach argues that “[i]t’s humiliating to me and degrading” to have to keep paying alimony to another man. Then he presents this surprisingly enlightened, though likely just as ineffective, argument - “If you can’t be married to a man legally, how can you legally pay alimony to a man?”
