[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So she gave up her career because he wanted a SAHM- he got free childcare free housecleaning free meals prepared for him- who knows how often he could travel on a whim thanks to his SAH wife, or maybe she shouldered the burden of grad school or a PHD where he was often gone, maybe his career demanded a transfer far away from family and friends......

He's been cheating on his wife and children and you all are angry at the MOM?

No way. When a family chooses to have a SAH model (as we did), you accept the consequences. Positive and negative ones- like having to pay alimony. [/quote]

It doesn't work that way.
If there is any alimony at all, it is normally rehabilitative/temporary intended to support somebody for a short time while training to get back into the workforce.  Only if the former SAHM has literally zero skills and zero intelligence (i.e. could never support herself) would long term alimony be possible. 
Even then, she should expect to have whatever job she can get, even if that means working at Starbucks. 
SAHM is a perk of marriage that ends when the marriage ends. [/quote]
