Mom's who homeschool how do you prepare for old age?

This question is slightly confusing, if only because I don’t quite follow how being a homeschooling mom automatically means you don’t work. I’ve definitely seen women who also work from home while homeschooling.

For those that are just stay-at-home parents, I would think it would be no different than those who stay at home and send their kids to traditional school. She would be entitled to a portion of her husband’s earnings, and they would plan retirement together.

As for planning for a break up, I believe most divorce proceedings require the primary earning spouse to pay a sum of money to the spouse who was not working (I think it’s called alimony?) Those who are more knowledgeable please feel free to confirm or deny through!
