Re: Legal advice here
I wouldn't ask my wife to dump her career for kids. I imagine that I'd work for 3 or 4 days per week and that she'd do the same.
It would be different if one of us made over twice as much as the other, but assuming that I won't have trouble finding work after I graduate from college I'll be earning far above minimum wage. And as I've implied before I can't imagine myself marrying someone who flunked out of high school and is doomed to earning just that for a living.

Most high flying jobs don't equate 50% of the hours with 50% of the career - more like career stagnation. If you want to get a job in the Civil Service or whatever you are more likely to succeed, but else it really is all or nothing.

Re: Legal advice here
That's a fair point, though I don't know if it applies to my future profession as much as others (lawyer, not civil servant)
Regardless, there are examples of countries where both spouses generally continue their respective careers. Like Norway, where the solution is day care - practicly an industry there.
(Or Japan, where the solution is to simply not have any children)
