LexiKD had a great point: It might be easier to leave a millionaire because the divorce settlement might allow everyone to live well.
But even in families that make pretty decent income, over a 100-150 thousand a year might end up with all parties financially crippled from a divorce settlement.
Which is why a lot of people probbaly stay in bad marriages.

Here we have one of the GREATEST reasons for getting an education! I am working my a** off in law school right now, so now matter what happens to me, I can take care of myself and my loved ones. Unfortunately bad things like divorce, illness, accidents, etc. happen but being able to stand on your own two feet is KEY. As long as I "keep my nose clean" (i.e. don't rob any banks or otherwise get in trouble) I will be able to find some kind of job that will pay the bills.
A very nice feeling to have.
