[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Alimony is not really a thing. You would get child support. Risk is you put career on hold and can't ever get it back. If you get a divorce you get 1/2, then child support, then the kids turn 18 and no more monthly payments. You have to support yourself and 10-15 years later, that 1/2 is gone bc you bought a house with it. You have little earning power. Prob not that huge of a risk if you aren't on the brink of divorce, TBH. [/quote] Obviously spousal support is not a guarantee, but every SAHM I know in this area who has gotten divorced has gotten spousal support for at least five years. [/quote] When she’s 45-50 and kids are almost 18 (hence child support will end), 5 years is nothing. She still has 30-40 years left to live and after being out of the work force most of her life her options are severely limited at 55 to go back in after all those years off and no work history. They will hire 25 year olds over her.[/quote]
