[quote=Anonymous]I assume that OP's friend does not have kids. Depending on how they set up their finances I do not think she would have to financially contribute in a material way. For example, they could contribute pro rata by income to a joint account from which joint expenses are paid (i.e. food, mortgage, utilities, whatever else). They could maintain separate accounts for their personal expenses (i.e. college funds for kids, clothes or early retirement account for OP's friend). There will be some overlap here because obviously the kids eat food and increase utility costs but most of the expenses for the children would come from the parent. I really doubt children would even notice this type of setup unless OP's friend makes a boatload of money and lives like a rockstar and the husband does not make much money. I can see this being a much more difficult situation if OP's friend has more kids with the guy or if OP's friend had existing children. [/quote]
