It’s not in every marriage by default. Divorce is negotiated between lawyers, judges and juries(?).

No, it is, at least in CA, and you have to have both parties agree if you want something else.

Get married to a person who refuses to work and then get a divorce. Guess what? They will, by default, be entitled to the standard of living established during the marriage.
