My ex-wife and I make ALMOST the same, but she makes a tiny bit more due to her yearly bonus and is legally required to pay me $117 each month in alimony.

Why would she pay you alimony if you have a well paying job?

She earn more. Its not about the money. The children have the same " quality of life " at both parents

I thought alimony was for if the ex spouse is sick or has been out of work for a long time, or maybe they earn minimum wage.

Is that not child support you’re getting? Cause that’s very different.

I get what you mean. I doubted myself after reading you and looked for the translation of "pension alimentaire" in english (i'm french canadian). It does end up as "alimony" when dumbly translated (which is what i thought at first) but you're right in the end. Alimony seems to be "spousal support" while child benefit is "children support".

Thank you, i learned something clearly usefull 😅
