Yes, there is wrong on both sides. For a man to expect a woman to give up a career and provide the best home for his kids, agree to support her and she gives up her ability to have anything more than a minimum wage job, but then be legally free of any responsibility toward her 20-30 years later if he changes his mind is wrong. I've seen quite a few former homemakers enter the working world for the first time over 40-50 years of age when their self-esteem has been handed a big blow.

I've seen the other side often enough also where the woman does decide to divorce a man they admit is a good man but they decided he was boring. It's really not fair they can take his kids from him and expect child support which they don't always spend just on the kids. I think in a marriage where the agreement is mutual to have a traditional marriage, there should be a legal requirement of alimony, it wouldn't apply to those couples who decided to both work. I also think custody shouldn't be handed out based on the parent's gender.
