Summary

This quote suggests that judges, when deciding on alimony arrangements, tend to exhibit a carefree and overly generous attitude, primarily because they are using someone else's money for this purpose. It implies that when judges are responsible for allocating funds that do not personally belong to them, they may be more inclined to be lenient and liberal in their decisions.
