No, that’s not how it works. They’d go to court and she’d likely get child support and alimony.

Answer

When does any divorce result in receiving half of your exes income?

Answer

No. You will get alimony possibly, and child support.￼

Answer

Oh man, wouldn’t that be something?
No honey, that’s not how that works. 😩

Answer

Nope. You’ll have to get a job. Course if your SO is a big time baller and you didn’t sign a prenup you might qualify for alimony... but you’ll need to get a job and provide for yourself and the kids. At best you’ll get child support.

Answer

Absolutely not. You’ll be single and needing to make your own money

Answer

Not sure where you are, but it’s definitely not an automatic thing.
That said, my Stepmom went through an unpleasant divorce not long before she and my Dad married (quick thing). She had an almost 3 year old with her first husband. He was a SAHD and had been since she was born, had been even longer since he had any sort of longer term steady job. She was the provider for the household and made somewhere between $100-150k (don’t know exactly). Through the proceedings, they agreed to 50/50 custody, one week on, one week off, mostly to keep their daughter with her Dad who she adored and was used to spending so much time with and for things to go more smoothly. He was awarded both child support and temporary alimony, not sure how much, but he didn’t have to work. They put an approximately 3-5 year time limit on it, that way he had plenty of time to make and follow a career path, even if it included going to school (he was very intelligent, but very lazy and never used that to his advantage, as i understand it). He eventually worked part time at a grocery store, never during the weeks he had their daughter, but that was after a year or two of not working. Idk how much his alimony was, but I understand it was enough for him to live on, even go to school on if he wanted, and the child support was additional and more than enough for what he needed for their daughter. It depends on a lot of factors, but I wouldn’t count on not having to work, especially after some time. This was in Washington state.

Answer

Depends on the country. Depends on the state. Every states laws are different!

Answer

Maybe if you sue for it. But trust me divorce gets ugly. You’ll want your own income. Because the less you have to deal with baby daddy, the better. You don’t want to rely on him. Also he may do shady stuff. I know lots of dudes who will work cash income jobs so they don’t have to report their income or it looks much less than it actually is. Then live lavish lifestyles. And you get nothing bc there’s no proof of his income. And there’s nothing you can do about it.
