[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The value of what a sahm gets while still married can be valued - half the mortgage, half the utilities, half the insurance premiums, clothing, food, entertainment. Basically, every dollar the household spends. Half of that is what she is getting 'paid'.  So for those who suggest a sahm, on divorce, should get backpay for 20 years of being a nanny.... Okay, do that calculation, then subtract the value of all those benefits she's been receiving.  I suspect that leaves her in a net negative position.  [/quote]

This. Unfortunately I think many SAHMs don’t understand this when they say they are owed money. Probably if there is a nice lifestyle involved it would not come out equal even if you factor on her labor at market rates.[/quote]

I am a lawyer turned SAHM. I think understand alimony in Virginia better than you do![/quote]

Can you tell us why the court thinks an able bodied person in their 40s or 50s should be entitled to lifetime support? [/quote]
