There is a fascinating article in the Wall Street Journal today, October 31, 2009. The title is "The New Art of Alimony". It discusses the trend for ex-spouses (decades after the divorce) to go back to court asking for alimony. These are people who agreed not to have alimony at the time of divorce.

The article suggests this trend is fueled by the financial needs of aging baby boomers in their retirement years and by the current economic situation. The article also describes resulting legislative actions in a few states where citizens are concerned about this trend.

Collaborative divorce financial professionals come with various credentials and have various reasons to be in this business. I will comment on the credentials in another blog entry. Right now, I want to talk about one of the various reasons to be in the business of divorce financial advice and how that relates to the disqualification.
