Here is the situation....my "friend" is going to be a stay at home dad. He will do the raising of the children, cleaning of the house and all that good stuff (if that is what you want to call it). "His" future wife is the one that wants a career and wants to bring home the bacon. Now my question is this..... if by some odd chance their was a divorce...would my "friend" be eligible to recieve alimony payments?
I know that the men usually feel the worst part of a divorce (monetarily speaking), and end up paying alimony for a long long time. But if the wife was the main bread earner...wouldn't she be responsible for paying the husband monthly (depending on what the lawyers work out of course)?
Maybe this is a dumb question .... but I have been wondering that because I have never heard of the wife paying the husband off each month.
