Chick stays home, raises kids and puts hubby through law school and needs alimony to go back to school and stuff? Well, it turns out back then she desparately wanted to get married and raise kids, so she gets nothing, not even temporary alimony to go back to school. Anyhow, proposing a "wanted to get married and have kids desparately" standard is Aren't you a litigator? Jeesh.
As for disqualifying based on "marrying for any sort of economic gain", what happened to your being okay with a rich, fat, bald investment banker who marries a hot chick and he gets to have her "lie under him" and she gets his money? Rich fat bald guy should know enough to get a prenup. Fuck him.
Finally, about that friend who was "raked over the coals": don't assume he's a "prince" and that there isn't another side to the story.

1. You get married because you desperately want to be married, but don't love the person and you're an idiot. You deserve nothing. It's irrational.
If you get married to a person you don't love because you desperately want a kid, you're loathsome.
2. I didn't say I was ok with the fat bald guy using dough to get himself a hooker-wife. That's pathetic IMO. Call me a romantic. Or call me lucky enough not to be that fucking ugly and absent personality that I'd need to do that kind of pathetic shit. I agree with you - he should get a prenup. But the law should also fuck over golddiggers.
3. My friend is a prince. This isn't a two sided story. He got taken. Dicked. Hard.
