All the jobs you listed below do not make a livable wage o raise
children on. Only a single person can truely work one of those jobs and
be able to pay the bills. However I have a job you didn't think of that
would make paying the bills workable. An off hours family daycare center
run by the SAHP, who is more than qualified to do such a job, during
nights and weekends which provides a societal ned for those who work
nights and have kids, allows the former SAHP to use a portion of their
home as a business tax expense deduction, and still leaves the day open
for the SAHP to go to school using grants and loans to increase their
earning potential. The only flaw here is most rented properties do not
allow you to run a daycare out of the rented home so the SAHP may have
to keep the house for a few years. But the 2 could just hold off selling
the house till 4-5 yrs after the divorce and then split the sale down
the middle 50-50.
