I would argue that she accepted the financial responsibilities only in exchange for the s'char she gets from enabling her husband to learn Torah, and that once he ceases to be her husband, that arrangement ends, and the whole thing reverts to the usual. Phrased differently, once he stops giving her the s'char of sharing in his learning, he has to give her a more practical olam-hazeh sort of support.
