An Affront to the Sanctimony of AlimonyFound on

A Seminole man is fighting to stop alimony payments to his ex-wife because the woman is now a man.
Lawrence Roach says his ex-wife has had a sex change and is now living as a man with a new identity. Roach says he should be allowed discontinue $1,200 in monthly alimony payments.
"This isn't right. It's humiliating to me and degrading," Roach said. "You know, I'm a man and I don't want to be paying alimony to a man. If you can't be married to a man legally, how can you legally pay alimony to a man?"
Let’s take a moment and bask in that. Just sit back, relax and repeat after me.
“I’m a man and I don’t want to be paying alimony to a man.”Allow the warmth and human compassion of that statement to just wash over you.
Now, Lawrence Roach is listed in phone book. Taking that information and the wonder that is Google Earth, I was shocked to find that Lawrence does not live in a home of the mobile variety. He lives in a house and appears to have one of the greener lawns on his block.
I guess that’s why we’re reading about his plight via a respectable news outlet and not seeing it on an episode of Springer.
"If you can’t be married to a man legally, how can you legally pay alimony to a man?"Opposed to illegally paying alimony to a man, Lawrence? The state of Florida needs to crack down on those illegal alimony payments. It’s bordering on a crime epidemic.
Lawrence most likely will lose his suit. He needs his ex to either die or remarry to stop the alimony payments.
Personally, if I was in Lawrence’s situation, I’d probably just keep my mouth shut, pay the alimony and hope my ex-wife meets a nice lady to re-marry. No need to let everybody know my ex is now sporting man parts.
I just hope, for Lawrence’s sake, that the ex-wife is into the ladies now. If she/he still likes the dudes, then you might see Lawrence campaigning for gay marriage to get out of his alimony dilemma.
