Would you divorce for Benefits?

I was speaking with a friend earlier today and she is in a complicated situation. After discussing it with her at length, I of course thought about taking this question to my fellow fluther folks, so here it is.

Say you were married and you and your spouse loved each other but financially things were difficult. Would you divorce your spouse to get benefits that would help you out financially? For instance your Aunt dies and leaves you $50,000 in her will but it stipulates that you cannot inherit if you are married? Or, (like in her situation), she is not eligible for financial aid to finish her college degree, unless she is single (her husband earns too much for her to qualify but doesn’t earn enough to afford to pay for her to go). Should she divorce him so she can go to school?
I feel that especially where marriage is concerned, it should not be trivialized based on money. It should mean more than that. Maybe I am being idealistic and others would disagree, stating that securing a future of financial freedom is detrimental to a successful union (although I strongly disagree). What are some of your opinions out there?
