Michael Drake, a matrimonial lawyer in London, recently had three clients, all men, come in to discuss their financial situations before getting married. Based on those conversations, two decided not to go through with their weddings.
Vanessa Lloyd Platt, a lawyer and author on divorce law, says women tell her that they feel like they are penalized for working during their marriage. Judges, she explained, will expect women who have worked to return to the work force after a divorce, even if they have children, whereas women with no former career typically will receive alimony for the rest of their lives.
