I am in Indiana. Currently my wife and I are working through an issue in our marriage. I have been seeking advice to protect myself in the event that our attempts fail and we end up going through a divorce. I met with a lawyer a few weeks ago for a consultation but something I did not ask has recently came back into question and thought maybe someone here could advise.
Our current income is pretty even, so I do not think there would be much if any Spousal Support required in the event of divorce, however, my wife has been wanting to go part time at her work for a few years and has recently applied for an open part time position. If she does go part time, her income will drop (and we'll no longer be equal earners) increasing the likelihood of Spousal Support. Can I ask for a post-nuptial agreement for her to waive the right to Spousal Support and will it cover the decision to allow her to go part time? I was thinking about proposing the idea that as a term of her going part time she has to waive the right to spousal support in the event of a divorce, but I am not sure if this would be "accepted" by the courts.
Thank you for your time and responses.
