Divorcing a man with a good income and getting custody of the kids is a good way to wind up poor. Poverty in the US tends to be dominated by women and their children. Most poor women were solidly middle class until they ended up pregnant, divorced or widowed.
Men who make good money generally have no trouble remarrying and having more kids with another woman if they want it. Stats I have seen suggest that women are more likely than men to have kids, men who do procreate are more likely to do so with more than one partner.
Iirc: about half of all men reproduce, about 80% of all women do. You can infer from that stat right there that men who do father kids have decent odds of fathering them on more than one woman.
