I remember as a kid in the 1970’s after my parents divorce, my mom couldn’t even get a credit card in her name without threatening a lawsuit.Our house was in my grandparents name on my mom’s side so there were no issues with that, but when they sold it to move to florida, my mom couldn’t get a mortgage in her name to buy her own place, even though she could afford it, even without alimony considering the fact that my dad hardly ever paid either that or child support. The system was always rigged against women. Especially single or divorced women. The one thing she taught me that stuck with me forever is to NEVER depend on a man to support you. Make your own way in life and make sure that you are financially independent without a man.
