the ex is just going to have to suck it up and pay the damn alimony, this person gave 18 years of life to be married to him and probably has no prospect of earning any decent wage, alimony is VERY hard to get in the first place these days so i have to assume that julia/julio has little to no prospect (esp. as a 55 year old transgendered person) of ever earning a decent wage -- and in any event ask any 55 year old male about age discrimination, it's very very VERY real, you can't just start over at that age

the ex just don't wanna take care of the person he once promised to care for until death do them part, no pity here, not after 18 years of marriage

as far as how the surgery was paid for, i know of one case where the surgery was actually covered by insurance, another case of an older person who traveled to thailand and got it for about half the going usa rate -- as a poster said elsewhere in the thread, no one would have bitched if julio had purchased a used car with the same amount of money
