All can be true. Reading statistics, on average, men are financially better after divorce women worst.

Men feel more lonely after divorce and women feel happier after divorce.

Men are more likely to find new partner sooner after divorce, women are more likely to stay single for long time.

Does that take into account how much work both are putting in towards earning? Or it's just considering the net numbers? Women may be worse financially looking at just the numbers, however, may still be ahead when their efforts into earning are taken in account. Or when the damages they did are properly taken into account for determining what the position of justice should be.

How is financially better calculated? Things like child support and alimony seem to not be counted for a lot of purposes - like tax - so the woman could be poorer on paper while actually having more money in practice.

Afaik, they are counted in. Also, alimony are not as frequent as legend has it. Nor they last to infinity.

Being primary caregiver, even with child support financially costs quite a lot. Not just in direct expenses, but also in job opportunities and in terms of what jobs you can have, how you can progress on the ladder.
