"We see women who are every bit as angry as their male counterparts, maybe more so, when they are confronted with the concept of paying spousal support to a man," said Abramowitz.

The gender switch in alimony payments is just one of many changes he has seen during his four decades as a lawyer.

"When I started practicing in 1973 there was no equitable distribution of property," he said.

美国律师称，如今美国的离婚案审判发生了重大转变，越来越多的女性付赡养费和子女抚养费给前夫，这是前所未有的。

现在女性们在职场上步步高升，薪水逐渐赶超伴侣，当她们的爱情出了问题，婚姻破裂，她们只好被迫付生活费给前夫。

但有些女性并不乐意这么做。

据美国婚姻律师学会称，全美超过半数（56%）的离婚律师发现，支付子女抚养费的母亲在过去三年增多了，47%的人指出支付生活费给前夫的女性人数也增加了。

该学会的主席当选人埃尔顿•阿布拉莫维茨说：“这表明女性确实在经济上有所改善，很多情况下她们是家中的主要经济支柱。”

“玻璃天花板正在被穿透，越来越多的女性负起了赚钱养家的责任，接过了经济重担。这是过去数年内我们社会发展方式的真实变化。”
