[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]16:19 This is unfair without more info. What if OP took off five years to raise the children, which meant her career didn't advance as much but her husband's did? [/quote]

Ok, so what as it was her choice.  She wanted to stay home or she could have continued to work and get a nanny or day care.  I am a SAHM and it was 100% my choice to give up my job to stay home and my husband would trade me places in a heart beat.  It is a lifestyle choice and when you make that choice, there are consequences.  I know if I go back I will not make nearly what I was making but I have far benefitted from being home with my child.  I don't expect, if I got divorced, for life long alimony and if I return to work before and then divorced, it is not his responsibility to support me, its mine if we are divorced.  Him supporting me is a perk of marriage.  Alimony is to give someone a chance to get back on their feet if they are not working and OP said clearly she was working but earning less.  What if she didn't take off and just picked a profession that didn't earn as much.  That was a choice she made and if she wanted more money, she should have picked a different profession (and the same goes for me and many others0.[/quote]
