Technically, yes. Alimony is available to either spouse. However, courts generally frown on a man who doesn't support his family. I suspect she would get custody of the children since she is the primary bread winner. All she has to do is claim that the children's needs come before her ex-husbands. If she has the kids he won't even be able to force a sale of the house. Your friend had best find himself some full time employment.

Sounds like this guy needs to start planning ahead. He needs to get a job to make himself a real man. I am now the primary income earner and it sucks. *wife type person here-- raises hand* To me, the man should always be the primary income earner. I can't imagine how irritating it must be to have to be the primary income earner for that longas the wife. Why doesn't this guy work? If it was the original deal for him to be the 'house husband' to take care of the kids, house, cleaning and all chores then he should not get too much of a hard time from the wife but if he does not do everything home related then he needs to get out and get a job.
Getting on to his rights. It's hard to say. If he is really worried about getting kicked out, he needs to contact a family law lawyer to find out his rights. Unfortunately, guys tend to end up on the bad end of a divorce.

Well you said the wife is the primary home owner, does that mean only her name is on the deed and title to the home? If yes, he can be thrown out whenever, it is legally her home. The fact if he works or not is not in question but rather who owns the home legally. Maybe he should get a job, full time, grow up and support his wife and kids and if he wants to leave, he can instead of having to rely on his wife for the rest of his life, that would never happen in my house!

Well the man has equal rights in the home if there married or have been living together for over 30 days. It can be even harder to make someone move if there married. Unless there is physical abuse going on somewhere. I think that the man might get a better job and try to find away to prepare for the road he should not have to be treated like that whats so ever. Sounds to me like she is wearing the pants here. If he is a good man she will relize once he puts on his walking shoes. Or if he makes better money she will think twice.
