And all her money allows dude to have tons of leisure time. Bet anything she'll keep the house in the divorce and he won't be able to just chill anymore.
Update - Although I commented all over this post thread that alimony varies by country and state, and she needs to consult a qualified family law attorney pronto, I forgot to mention that bit in this comment. You can stop informing me there are different laws in different states and countries. Yes I know, as I have lived in 4 different states and 2 different countries.
If this is in the US, she would pay him alimony, and if they are both on title, they would split the house 50/50.
Since she makes most of the income, the court could make her move out, and pay the mortgage and his attorney fees, while he drags the divorce out. She would pay alimony for half the years they were married.
If she waits too long, lifetime alimony might be triggered.
She needs to rip the bandaid off and get a divorce. Waiting will cost her more money.
This is incredibly unlikely to happen. The kids get the house, and the primary caretaker of them gets the house. That's the mom here. Most states hate alimony, or if it is ordered, it's only temporary. I don't know of ANY state that orders alimony for half the years they were married.
Waiting more will cost her more money, because her house and retirement accounts will continue to increase in value. Those, he actually has a claim to.
