[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The way I've seen this play out is that the high earner spouse limits the funds that the lower earning spouse has access to during the divorce, then they hire a shark and slow the process down, so it could take years for c/s and alimony to be decided and during that time the low-earner is also racking up high legal bills. Additionally, I know a number of cases where the high earner threatened to pursue full custody with their endless resources and got the low-earner to settle for less in exchange for 50/50.[/quote]

This does happen.

OP, keep your career going and viable.

That kind of disparity often seems to lead the working partner into affairs with people he feels he has more in common with. Your assumptions about alimony and child support are unrealistic these days. [/quote]

So by this logic I am financially safer as a middle class SAH then the OP. What's the point of having the all that money if you have to protect yourself from it? Bc that's what keeping her job becomes. Protecting herself from her husband's success. It's literally the opposite of what marriage is supposed to be for.[/quote]
