I'm shocked that people would collude together for money.
And it's a woman? My god man, that never happens at all. Except for all the times it ever has. Did you see the richest women in the world list, 99% of the list got their money from divorce?
Demand a prenup guys. It's a deal breaker from her, she's a ball breaker for you.
You can't limit divorce terms with a prenup. All prenups that try to fix divorce terms are tossed out on the grounds they are 'coercive.' The woman will always argue that she had no choice but to sign it (which is insane, but nevermind).
You can only exclude preexisting assets from the marriage and only if the funds are never touched for the entire duration of the marriage. If you have a separate bank account and one time you use it to buy a cup of coffee, it is now community property. Only assets sealed away completely in a trust or similar vehicle can be excluded. Money you make while married will always be considered 'hers'. Even if you try to say your business had nothing to do with her, they'll say her 'support' was what made you the money and give her a cut.
The purpose of prenups was originally to protect rich heiress's from having their family fortunes stolen by handsome losers. Attempts by men to use them to limit divorce settlements are viewed very harshly by the courts.
Imagine that, it's about the money.

Okay, we're all fucked.
There's a way to avoid it but it's an example of "grasping the nettle." I don't blame men for not trying.
