Actually, I don't see being well educated and staying home to take care of your children as a "waste of an education". Studies clearly show that the intelligence of children correlates with maternal intelligence/education more then paternal. It makes sense when you think about it. Your impact on the development and early education of your kids is likely more profound then your husband's when you stay at home, leading to more intelligent kids who will ultimately be better contributors to society. And because of your education, you will likely have more success in obtaining a job later in life, once the kids are out of the house.
So part of me loves it when I see these wealthy successful men with their silly (uneducated..) trophy wives, who go on to have kids who are dysfunctional/less intelligent/less successful. Regression to the mean....
I guess I'm looking at it more from the mom's perspective. How much she benefits from the education rather than her children, since she's the one working for it. People go to college for various reasons but I'm sure very few are doing it so that their future children can be smart. I see your point, but I still think it's a waste.
Heavens NO! Why would I want to have to provide everything? I'd view her as a total liability.
But her staying at home, while you provide her everything, has value according to the court. Therefore, the law gives those women the right to take half or more of what you worked for if divorce comes knocking at your door.

You would view your wife and the mother of your children a liability because she stayed at home and RAISED your children?
I don't think there is a wrong or right way to do things - it depends on the couple. However - if the husband makes enough money and yet he would view his wife as a liability - I question the healthiness of the marriage.

See, here's the thing (Mod cut: rude, personal barbs), let these young guys actually FIND a woman willing to marry them and then see what they have to say
Right now their "opinions" mean nothing. It's like a high school football player thinking he can tell the NFL MVP how to play football
ANY man who would view his wife as a liability should never plan to marry, especially because decent worthwhile women wouldn't have him.
We're talking about just the wife, no children in the picture. Still, the court values her work more than yours and therefore gives her the right to take half or more of what you worked for. If you are dating a woman who seems to be the one that would be staying at home while you work, and you don't like that, then it must be a good time for you to look for a different kind of woman.

No, it's because in the eyes of the court a married couple are a single unit, not two individuals: one with an income and a freeloader. When the unit splits, the assets are divided in half.

But didn't you know that a person's value is in direct correlation to how much money they make? So a stay at home mom is worthless since she doesn't make any money.
