The glass ceiling for women may finally be shattering, but not in the way you may think. A new survey indicates that more American women are now paying alimony and child support to their ex-spouses, Reuters reports.
The survey was conducted by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. The group discovered that 56 percent of divorce lawyers surveyed reported seeing an increase in mothers paying child support over the last three years. Additionally, 47 percent said women were paying alimony.

Did anyone else hear a glass floor shattering, follow by shrieks of mass panic?

Sounds to me like there are some rogue judges out there that feminists better re-educate.

Well in this case, going "rogue" is a good thing.

I find the title a little bit deceptive.

The way it is worded indicates that 'more women' and you'd expect if it's more than some other group, it can only be men. I opened this thread expecting a hilarious spoof that somehow more women were paying up than men... but no, they simply 'more women than in the past'. So that could mean anything... It's incalculable possibilities of what it could mean are so many that it's practically meaningless.
