Dude has like $200 bucks a week left over after he pays his gas/car insurance/ cell bill etc. He would be homeless if he didn't have his parents.

Your "friend" isn't very smart
One of the most BASIC tenants of a judge deciding alimony amounts is BOTH people being able to live as close to their previous lifestyle as possible, NOT being inequitable with one almost homeless living with parents and the other living in a house and having everything paid for.
If the judge can't find a way for them both to equitably live basically the same lifestyle then the judge decides on how to make them both feel the "financial pain" equally.
