But it rarely comes to that (i.e., to a woman being milked dry in the divorce courts), because women - on a "gut" level - understand that they (as the richer partner) would be at a disadvantage, and would be unable to squeeze resources out of the man, so they avoid such scenarios from the get-go.
To underscore the truth of this position, consider the statistics: 1) Women expect the man to make 157% of her salary, and 2) If a man (even through no fault of his own) suffers a sudden, medium-term drop in earning power, women will quickly develop an aversion towards the man, resulting in a break-up or divorce.

“Women expect the man to make 157% of her salary”
Alpha men laugh at that.
They make their own rules—and most women find that very attractive.
That rule only applies to beta men.
