> The problem now is that these divorce laws were made with a pretty specific model in mind, said breadwinner/homemaker model, and that courts dealing almost excursively with this model may have developed certain biases. The law does code for the two-breadwinner model, and all the sliding scale between breadwinner and homemaker. E.g. Probably the most common model now a days (gens x and y) is the breadwinnerhomemaker/breadwinner (frequently a woman pulling "double shift" while a man focuses 100% on work), and that is dealt perfectly by the law. That "problem" you described is mostly a fabrication of social media discussions. Most frequently someone loud who is living on a breadwinnerhomemaker/breadwinner model but don't recognize the spouse homemaker contributions, therefore would like the court to rule as if it was a two-breadwinner model.
