To get a little off topic, a huge benefit I see is poor people would be less at the mercy of abuse.

Currently, women can be stuck in abusive relationships which are challenging to escape. Having a reliable stream of incoming money can help then run away.

Men can be stuck in abusive relationships as well. Xanthippe is a thing since the dawn of time.

But I agree, abolish alimony and let UBI take care of that, so both spouses can freely go their own way if desired.
