Worst States to get Married in: Part 1 (states with lifetime alimony)

Before writing topics like this, I do a quick google search to see if this topic already exists. Funny thing is that I can't find a list of the worst states to get married in. All the search results bring up the title "best and worst states to get a divorce in."

Since this list doesn't yet exist, I'll try my hand at making it. This won't be a formal study based on any surveys. This will be a tally of which states have the most amount of unfavorable conditions for a man to risk getting married. Off the top of my head, there are a few topics that stand out.

lifetime alimony
palimony
common law marriages
communal property
child support laws
average costs of divorces
average costs of weddings

This is not an all inclusive list.


So the first topic is lifetime alimony.

A quick google search brought me to the link sharpiroberezins. Six states where lifetime alimony is likely are as follows.

Michigan
New Hampshire
Oregon
Virginia
Washington
New Jersey

We will now add one point to each state for this factor.

Michigan 1
New Hampshire 1
Oregon 1
Virginia 1
Washington 1
New Jersey 1

This score will be updated with every factor that gets reviewed. For now, these six states start out as contenders for the worst state to get married in.
