Actually murder is an alternative to divorce, just a very poor one.

You have to believe that you can see this kind of thing coming and take steps to prevent it. Obviously not everyone does, either see it coming or take preventative steps, but it just has to be possible. You cannot divorce a deceased spouse. However, the deceased spouse’s estate is entitled to apply for a division of matrimonial property and to sue the person responsible for his or her death. Therefore, as a strategy for keeping the kids and property from your ex, murder is not very effective.

Killing your spouse is no alternative to divorce

“What most of those convicted had in common was the fact that their relationships were in trouble (if not already over). Rowing was common. And they were the parents of young children. In some cases divorce was a very real prospect, with the possibility of losing custody of these children while having to pay out large sums to maintain their ex-partner in the family home.”
