| Annotation | In this Article, Professor Starnes surveys a collection of alimony theories, grouping them into three categories: gain theory, loss theory, and contribution theory. She concludes that gain theory offers the most satisfactory theoretical basis for alimony, not only for the clarity of its quantification model, but also for the status it assigns alimony claimants, who are cast as equal partners in marriage rather than as victims of marriage. |
