And should he do that, it's hard to argue with a straight face that she deserves half of everything. > Or to prevent Susan from having an obvious recourse in the event that Daniel commits adultery. How often to prenups give the cheating party a free pass?
- dragonwriter 10y ago> How often to prenups give the cheating party a free pass? In some states, notably including California, infidelity clauses have been held to be unenforceable provisions in prenuptial agreements, as contrary to public policy (specifically, in CA, that policy as expressed in no-fault divorce laws.) So, if the agreement purports to create penalties for cheating that vary what the distribution of assets would be without it, that provision may not have any legal effect.

- wk_end 10y agoWhy would those be Daniel's intentions though? What does he have to gain by doing that? Susan obviously has a tremendous to gain by doing that sans prenup, which is precisely why people perceive her reluctance to get one as a red flag, but unless I'm missing something, Daniel wouldn't really gain anything by doing that except a whole bunch of legal fees. If he wanted to leave her, why marry her?
