What is Manimony?
Wives can make more money than their husbands. Often the reverse is true, especially when women take lower paying jobs to have greater flexibility to care for children, or simply because they act as homemakers or support to building their husband’s careers. In today’s society, men can become stay at home dads, or the part-time workers in the home. They can be homemakers, or they may simply lack the skills that translate to better paying jobs. When marriages end, and the wife’s income is greater than her husband’s, this may result in alimony payments from the wife to the husband, or so-called manimony.
