No. Who's he?
Generally, the assets are split between the two. Keep in mind that most women work outside the home. Alimony is usually rewarded if one spouse doesn't work, but it goes both ways. A high earning female can be mandated to pay the husband. There can be an uneven split if one party is accused and there's evidence of infidelity. Judges tend to side with the victim.
As for child support, it's based on income and lifestyle as a couple. $1500 per month? I wish. The amount varies widely, but based on income that would be for a spouse that's making over $100K annually.

And he spoke about statistics, that most women divorce for reasons like "life is boring, not interesting anymore, you are too busy, you dont pay enough attention" etc.

Your friend is bitter and speaking in swooping generalizations. If his ex said that to him, obviously he wasn't putting much effort into his marriage and expecting too much?
