It doesn't have to be alimony - you can also remain happily married and live off the income of your spouse.
According to this googled article, 29% percent of mothers of children under 18 are stay at home mothers: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/04/08/women-stay-at-home-mothers-work/7468163/ http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/04/08/women-s...
Two thirds of them are supposedly married, so I guess the alimony case might be around 10 percent of all mothers.

In any case, the fewer the number of women competing to collect child support from high-income men the higher will be the returns to that strategy and the more attractive it will be compared to working for wages.
