What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York
Im in the midst of drawing up a prenup and after discussing with my fiancee about alimony I told her that if the marriage ends in divorce as outlined in our prenup we would basically split what we determined in advance is seperate property and anything joint would be split equally any debt we incurred jointly we would obviously split and any of our own debt with remain our own responsibility. We both work full time, we basically handle our own personal finances but the home bills we split evenly. By stating her job is stronger than mine I mean she makes more than I do and is financially stronger. Neither one of us carries the other. I am just concerned that in the event of a divorce does the possibility exist that I would still have to pay maintenance? I want to be as fair as possible and am just looking to protect what little I have and prevent any future arguments by having everything up front. I dont have a problem with alimony lets say the marriage lasts more than ten years but is it automatic the husband pays even if the both of us are basically equal financially?
