> It truly baffles me how alimony is even legal today. Based on how alimony is treated, marriage is essentially indentured servitude.

The US has no guaranteed parental leave. If you have a kid and want one parent to spend any significant time with that kid, someone is sacrificing their career advancement. This usually hits women harder.

If you want to see the end of alimony, you’d need to make it easier to choose to have kids. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be a priority in the US.
