Yikes at this thread. Never give up your job to stay home, ladies! You need to look out for number one. [/quote]

Well, the problem is, the SAHM role does not get enough respect.  Think of the myriad jobs a SAHM does and consider all the people you hire to replace what a SAHM does.  I sometimes feel as though the feminist movement eliminated SAHM as a choice for women in that the concept of alimony seems to have gone away.  IMO this role should be a viable option for a man or a woman and it should be protected under the law.  A woman or man dosesn't stay home with the kids without the consent of the other partner.  That was a choice that partner also made, and the consequences of one partner out of the workforce should not be a burden only that one person has to bear.[/quote]

See above what men write: you have to work at 48! As if there is an abundance of well paying jobs available to a SAHM  after a long gap with employment. These men are totally self centered and disconnected from reality. 
If I was playing my marriage history again, I would not have stayed at home and supported his traveling career without a stone clad postnup[/quote]

If you're too proud to fold towels at Kohls, that's your problem.[/quote]

And this last one should be a guidance for any woman whose husband wants her to "focus on household". This is exactly what he would tell in 15 years while upgrading for a new shiny young thing!.

I believe marriage is a very unsafe financial contract for women, unless you negotiate a stone clad postnup before even having babies [/quote]

It's unsafe for men, too. Your wife can decamp at any time for any reason and take half your net worth with her.

I'm not sure what this "postnup" would do that the divorce laws don't already do.[/quote]

Alimony would be in postnup, if a higher paying spouse insists that the lower paying spouse pushing back on her/his career. Then there won't be a need to spend $200K in divorce court to get that alimony. Assets are  divided 50/50 and CS are determined by default formula so these are less contentious issues to fight over[/quote]
