Most spouses have a job. These situations occur when there is an inequality of income, so one person has to pay the other for a period of time. There are various reasons for this...such as making sure the assets were split 50\50, to pay back or make up for the years that someone has supported another in their schooling, business start up, etc, or to keep a somewhat equal standard of living for the kids.

Courts will often take into account any disparity in earnings and why that is. For example, if one parent gave up their well paid job to be a stay at home parent that would be considered when calculating spousal support because of their lossed earnings. It's not about them not having a job at all, it's that in those scenarios they tend to have missed out on continuing on their career ladder whereas the spouse who has to pay spousal support didn't have that which is why they earn so much.
