His wife had the bigger paycheck.There's no problem with that. In my religious ideology though, a wife is entitled to a portion of their husband's paycheck whereas a husband isn't entitled to any of the wife's paycheck. So if I was with a woman who earned more than me, I'd still have to give her some of my earnings despite being poorer than her but there's no problem with that.
So if my neighbors divorced, she shouldn't be obligated to pay him alimony? Even if he has difficulty re-entering the workforce due to his prolonged absence? That hardly seems fair or equitable. IMO, he should also get a portion of her work retirement fund (401k).
