You mean how some people put their careers on hold to raise their kid(s) until they’re old enough to go to school because the cost of child care is too expensive and thus their earnings and retirement suffered for over half a decade at least and then they get divorced and the stay at home dad is awarded some alimony because yeah, his earnings went way down after he re-entered the work force and thus was awarded alimony for making sure his wife and kids were taken care of and she was supported as she continued to work and move up?

But yeah, it’s totally unfair that the wife was made to pay alimony even though they both had careers at the time of the divorce but she made much more money.
