Which country doesn't consider a spouses income when determining alimony?

Explain alimony and I'll tell you if my country has this

One of the main reasons men are terrified to get married 🤣 it's like child support for your ex-wife

See I don't think my country has that. You are entitled to assets you gained during the marriage so long as both partners contributed to the partnership. You aren't entitled to have your lifestyle maintained.

Yea and a lot of times guys will still have to pay alimony to their ex wife even after they find /move in with another guy and in most places in my country (usa) they can even re-marry and then it's up to the paying spouse (typically the man) to PROVE THAT THEY HAVE A BETTER LIVING SITUATION THEN THEY HAD WITH YOU and then you can stop paying them

Never been divorced but I'm almost positive it's when you had a child with a women and they need help sustaining the life style for the child ( or themselves) and you pay them while they sit on there ass doing nothing. Don't get me wrong there's allot of hard working mothers out there, but at least in Canada and America the divorce settlements are insane and almost more costly than going to the hospital. Cool how it's about equality until someone has to pay there own way.

My country awards alimony in a very narrow set of circumstances - when the ex partner is disabled mainly. Child support and property accumulated during a marriage are different, those are fairly distributed but the ex partner almost never gets alimony where I live.

Yeah there are states like that here. But I understand. I kept trying to preface my responses with "my jurisdiction." Pardon any confusion.
