>That is so fucking fucked up I can't even understand how and why. When you're divorced her finances are her own business.

Exactly. I thought child support sucks (if you can't afford to steal my child then don't steal my child), but I was still planning on getting married one day. Then I found out about alimony and suck fuuuuck no.

There's a reason Canadian and USA men are against marriage.

>Let's say that a marriage last 50 years. Then you would have 250k profit. When you divorce it will cost you 110k.

The initial cost of the divorce is also half of the money you make more than her. If she makes 50k and you make 100k that's an extra 15k per year after taxes, so you're at a 40k loss. Plus US alimony is income-based, it can be far higher than 6k. Brandon Fraser is the extreme example, as he owes $900,000 annually in alimony. That's the extreme, of course, but it shows there's really no ceiling for how badly you can get fucked.
