Same here. We have a joint account, I'm the sole earner, apart from mortgage and utilities and whatnot, she's spending all of it, and that's great, because she does it much better than I could. I suck at managing money, she does not. I wish I could give her more money.

Alimony: support for a spouse that sacrificed their career to further yours during the course of the relationship

Child support: support for the child, given to the parent that incurs in the costs for the child

What the novel talks about is child support.

I still don’t get the black humor and I will pretend to believe it’s because of the translation.

I do give 45% of my pay to my wife. It's called taxes and she is a tax official.

No boomer humour just reality.
