I have to disagree with the comment that the divorce laws favor women. The laws favor the lower/non-earning spouse. I know more than one woman who has to pay alimony to her ex-husband.

Unfortunately it is true, though you could say it is not ‘written law’ but ‘administered law’. Compare the amount of alimony paid by female spouse compared to amount of alimony paid by male spouse under the same wage situations (be careful of cross-correlation in statistics). Also look at child support enforcement separated by gender of the parent with custody. There is still a stigma on a male who depends upon a breadwinner wife and this makes its way into the courtroom. Whether this is fair or not is a separate issue.
