Not necessarily. I recall a court case where an ex-husband tried to reduce alimony payments by quitting a well-paying job in tech to work at a fast food restaurant, got sued by the wife, and was ordered by the judge to continue paying the previous amount because he was clearly qualified and able to retain the job and had created the situation on purpose.
He’ll still be paying it even if fired. He would need to seek out a job that is at a similar level and would get the alimony adjusted if it pays a little more. But you can’t suddenly decide to quit a field you are qualified for, have plenty of opportunities to work in etc, to chase a fast food career. Even if you get fired and do that, the judge will see it as malicious - you wouldn’t do that if you had a family to support.
Also, if you prove you cannot find a job and are looking, they’ll adjust it too, and will let you find a shittier job in the meantime. It’s just if you do it all maliciously where they will say “nope”
At least somewhere in southern mainland Asia, yes, but I’m curious about whether this joke would actually work in any countries, India included. Are you affirming that it works in India?
Where I live my father got a solid quote to pay each month. My mother could sue for more, however, when his income rose. So this dude, after posting this online, opened the gate for the woman to sue his employee, at least if it happened here.
I’m 99% sure that alimony doesn’t work like that in the US. Are there any countries where it does work that way?
From my understanding, I believe it does, in that if your income decreased, your alimony can be reduced.
Of course, this is almost certainly a work of fiction.
Sure, but once your income goes back up so does the alimony, at least in the US

He quit the job, rather than being fired, correct?

Guessing both dudes are in India

It’s a LinkedIn post I donno any details but u can sleuth it up
It works because it highlights two issues in India, the justice system being in favour for women and the casual misogynism
I meant to ask whether this premise would function irl, but this interpretation is funnier.
Everyone must always affirm the joke in the meme works. You affirm all of your memes, correct?
When someone asks a topic-adjacent question, ye. Or I post nonsense to feel like I’m included in the conversation. Why do you ask?
Edit: just realized you took this comment without considering the previous one. I geddit
