Like you, I'm in my 50's, got an engineering degree, worked since college, married at 22 but we chose not to have our son until I was 30. My ex and I divorced amicably after 20 years when our son was 12 (he's now almost 22, a college senior, and a very caring adult) - no spousal support exchanged because we were both working adults. Our son didn't suffer because he went to daycare as a toddler - in fact, it helped prepare him for kindergarten because he needed the time with other kids and not just adults. I didn't hit glass ceilings because I was a CP mom - work hard and you will be recognized in your field.
---> I see no reason why you should receive alimony either, but your situation is just that...yours. Now had some of the circumstances been a little different...say you had been a SAHP for four years AT the time of the divorce, it would NOT be unreasonable for you to receive some Transitional Support for a couple of years while you got up to speed in your field.
---> As I said...there are times when alimony/spousal support is warranted and other times it is not.
