This field isn't exactly disappearing like so many do. Juggled income streams and did what I had to do before they were all school aged. Then one thing led to another and because of my work ethic and degree I do share office space, kind of, with the director of my department.
Some days though...grrr. :\ Hasn't been easy.

I know it’s OT but you don’t need to marry into wealth to get spousal support. My husband is RN, he has a nice income but it’s not wealth. He pays his ex 1k a month. We have 4 more years of it.
The reason being they were married close to 30 years and she almost never worked. Towards the end of their marriage she refused to get even part time job.
She wanted alimony until SS age but judge gave her limited number of years. My husband has been RN only last few years of their marriage, prior to that he always struggled supporting her and two kids on a pretty low income. Judge didn’t care. Spousal support was awarded based on what he was making at the time of divorce. So one doesn’t need to be married to wealth to collect alimony
Didn’t mean to hijack this thread. But people sometimes assume that only wealthy pay alimony. Nope, if you work and they don’t, you will pay if judge decides
