Congratulations you're growing up.

If I raised the kids instead of a career that was an agreed upon choice in the marriage. So when the marriage ends I'm not suppose to get any alimony, despite raising the kids and doing the laundry because it's "his money." That's not how marriage or divorce works.

There SHOULD be alimony for a set amount of time and there should NOT be child support if the custody is 50/50. The alimony would give the lesser earning spouse a chance to get on their feet, set up a home for their children, and adjust to a lifestyle without a second larger income. But since their income would be more or less equal (with alimony) they should each cover their own kids related expenses and agree on the rest. Child support for 50/50 custody doesn't make sense especially on top of alimony.
