If a lawyer stops working when she has kids and is out of the field for 10 years, her earnings will never be what they could have been, not unlike someone who graduated into a recession. [b][And what she got: to stay at home and be supported for 10 years at his expense. Why should she get that for free AND THEN get more of his money after the divorce?][/b]

Meanwhile, her husband’s earnings will be greater than what they would have been without a SAH spouse. [b][Nope.][/b]

He will continue to enjoy that earnings bump post-divorce. Neither of them will be able to have the same standard of living post-divorce that they enjoyed together. [b][Why should they?][/b]

Assuming she gets a job at $100k per year rather than the $250k she’d be making without those years out of the workforce, she has taken a huge hit to her lifetime earning capacity. It will affect her HHI forever as well as her social security payments when she’s older. [b][She stayed home, at his expense, by her own choice. If that's what it cost her, so be it.][/b]

Husband, otoh, will continue to benefit until the day he dies. [b][No he won't, and in real life he'll have to pay to get rid of her.][/b]

It’s absurd to say women want to keep everything. It’s inarguable that their standard of living drops after divorce. [b][Of course women want to keep everything. It is absurd and unjust to insist that their standard of living, if it drops, [i]should not[/i] drop after a divorce. She does not have to provide any of the obligations of marriage after the divorce, and therefore he should not have to, either.][/b] [/quote][/quote]

bolded person writing seems very angry and bitter.  Yikes.[/quote]
