There are very good reasons why Susan should be against a prenup. Suppose her and Daniel have a child, and they both agree that it makes sense for Susan to quit her job and raise the child at home.
If they have a prenup, a divorce is devastating to Susan. She's made no income and will likely have trouble finding employment since her skills may have atrophied. Does this seem fair?
- antisthenes 10y agoIt actually does seem fair, because regardless of the prenup Susan will be entitled to a sizeable alimony and child support, based on Daniel's income. Since women are more likely to initiate divorce, it would be in her interest to keep the marriage alive to the best of her ability. The man bears the higher risk here, so the post-divorce split should represent that accordingly.
