If her income is low enough, she will qualify for SNAP benefits and Medicaid. Her lifestyle will take a huge hit but she won't be homeless on the street.

If there's no prenup, she will be entitled to at least some spousal support. The courts in most states don't care if she had a thousand affairs. [/quote]

In Virginia, they do.[/quote]

No, VA does not really care.[/quote]

Yeah, it really does.  Proof of adultery = bye-bye, spousal support![/quote]

Your premise is that there would be any spousal support in the first place which is almost never the case nowadays.[/quote]

Exactly. If people get it, it is temporary. And only people with very high income spouse would get enough to live on (and even that may be a few years and not more). Almost everyone would have to get a job. [/quote]

Wrong and wrong. I have indefinite spousal support. And I also work.

I don't use terms like "high income." I have no idea what that might mean in your world. it's pretty subjective. But I can tell you that at least half of my divorced friends got to keep large marital homes, and they do not work. Or they work part-time as personal trainers or personal shoppers - no benefits or anything. I know one who works in a clothing store. Several who do absolutely nothing except play tennis.

Pretty much like my married friends. Half work, half don't.

Explain to us exactly what incredible thing you did while married that now you should be paid in perpetuity by your former spouse? Are you still doing his laundry? Cooking him meals? Sleeping with him? Doing the job of a SAHM? If you’ve stopped rendering your SAHM services to him, why is he forced to invest his time earning money to pay you while you offer nothing back?[/quote]

I’m not the pp, but most of the SAHMs I know in this position are still raising the children, so they are rendering SAHM services.  [/quote]

So you personally know of several dads who did not want any custody of their multiple infants/toddlers thereby requiring the ex wife be a non working full time SAHM? That's so odd! I know of zero cases like that.[/quote]
