There probably needs to be some kind of sun-setted transition support if someone was purely a home spouse. Four years max seems OK, as the time required to get some sort of employability education or training.
My wife was young when we married, worked at first, then stayed home when we had kids. When they were in school all day, she started to work part-time and go to college part time. She graduated after more than 10 years of part-time classwork.
Now she makes more than I do, so alimony would not apply; but if we had split up 12 or 15 years ago, she would have certainly been entitled to some kind of support, I think.
