fair enough.

you seem to be arguing that the system is x and depends on y and i am saying it should be a and depend on b.

you make a strong point re alimony. the law seems to extend the concept of co-production into more spaces than i was considering.

i guess this is why pre-nups have come into existence.

i get why the system operates as it does where there is sacrifice or substantial co-production. but i wonder why otherwise.

but it probably makes my theory too complex to bother thinking about if what currently obtains is so thoroughly embedded.

by the way, i thought we were no longer in the age of spousal ironing!

I'm just backing it out to how divorce is handled, and one needs not have children for significant financial interest in the 'others' production to exist. alimony and child support are separate components of marriage dissolution. that there is alimony indicates that there is and has been a durable financial interest in a partners production. survivor benefits is an extension of that. SoSec, like divorce, has separate lines for survivor benefits and dependent child benefits. i'm not saying it is right or wrong, but assumed financial interest in the production of spouses seems to me to be routinely considered an independent item from the item of child care through any variety of lens.

it seems courts and law for some time have found that ironing the man's tie and making breakfast (with or without children) establishes a durable financial interest in the man's production. survivor benefits is an expression of that.
