[quote=Anonymous]Thank you for posting the anecdote above. I just don't think it is realistic to expect a spouse to be responsible for compensating someone for "opportunity loss" of that magnitude. When you get married, you agree to assume some responsibilty for you spouse's welfare -- not compensating him or her for a theoretical career. In the case above, Annie is probably entitled to a few years of alimony, making it possible for her to get a job, and maintain a reasonable standard of living. It's unrealistic to expect to be compensated for theoretical seven-figure salary career. And remember, she is automatically entitled to half of their assets. If he was making millions, then she presumably will be walking away with seven figures herself. Boo friggin hoo.[/quote]
