Male discrimination?

alimony and child support are different.child support goes to children, alimony is considered "spousal support," and is awarded in a divorce and there are no children, and it is to be paid typically until the receiving partner remarries. child support only goes until the child is 18. some divorce settlements require both to be paid.

Ah, ok. We use the expression "alimony" both for spousal and child support.
Yeah, well, again: That of course is wrong. If a couple here divorces and both work 100% nobody has to pay anything. OUr pension system tends to fuck women who took time off from work to care about children (or those who never worked because of children) up their ass, though.
Also, this puts way too much emphasis on the institution of marriage.

On the other hand, if there are children, child support doesn't end here when the child is 18, but when it has finished it's education. Makes sense to me.

Same in UK. In DK you have the same pension if you have lived for 40 years in the country, after you have turned 18. So, marriage or working life is not relevant.

Yes.
