responsible for proportionate alimony


Explanation:
if it concerns a deficiency payment. Full alimony means he has to make payments that fully cover his ex-wife's living expenses. That's besides "child support" for the kids.

Remember: one out of three marriages ends in divorce, while the other two fight it out to the bitter end
