Does a divorce really cost only $5 in Cuba?
A. A divorce usually takes about 3 months in Cuba and costs $5. Everything is split equally between the separating couple. If there are children involved, the ex-husband has to pay 10% of his wages as alimony, and usually leaves the house so that his ex-wife and children can live in it. If he does not make the alimony payments every month, he is put in jail.
