As you say, the decision for one parent to stay home is a joint decision made with the best interests of the children in mind. If children have had a stay-at-home parent before divorce then IMHO they will do best with a stay-at-home parent after divorce, if that is at all possible. It makes sense for that to be the same parent who's been at home before the divorce but it doesn't have to be that way. Most of us don't have millions to fight over.
