If he asked her not to work and she did as he requested then sje has not had those years of experience to increase her wages. If he allowed her to do all those things while married then legally she is entitled to a percentage of income sufficient to keep her in the level of living that she is accoustomed to. It's normal for her to itemize all the expenses to substantiate that.
Personally though I think it's a bit much to ask for all that. It wouldn't hurt her or any other person to spend a little time living below their usual income. It teaches an appreciation of little things and of their usual lap of luxury. Her son will pick up that attitude of expecting luxury and won't appreciate it as much as he should. She is doing herself and her son a disservice.
