Welcome to a lot of guys reality. they get stuck in a one bedroom basement suite with no money, they end up losing their kids and effectively just becoming a pay cheque because they arn't able to afford an extra bedroom, toys etc...
How many millionaires out there are there that this applies to as opposed to some schmuck that works at the plant, earns about the same as his wife and ends up with no life and no kids, it isn't much better for her either, but the default position where she gets to stay at the house and gets child support while the case is sorted out for 4 or 5 years leaves most ordinary guys screwed both financially and as a parent.
i also think there would be a hell of a lot less divorce if both parties knew they would have to both support themselves and take on the role of parent.
