[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh man. She should wait until he’s already made a lot of money so that she would be entitled to half of the marital assets if they get divorced.

Think how she would feel if she puts him through all that training, then quits to sahm, then they get divorced within a few years. She won’t be entitled to his assets earned after the divorce, except maybe some paltry alimony for a year or two and some child support maybe. She will be expected to go back to work, but she probably be to get as good a job after taking time off. So she will be watching him make all that money that she helped him train for, not be entitled to it, and watch him spend it on some other woman.

Seriously. She shouldn’t mommy track, at least not yet. Or at least not without a post nup. [/quote]

This is a risk whether or not she works and can only be addressed with a post-nup, which she should put in place prior to quitting her job.[/quote]

But if she doesn’t quit, she still has her high paying career if they divorce, rather than a derailed career.

Very big difference between deciding to stay home after husband has already made a ton of money,  versus deciding to stay home after years of hubby making very little money and when he is just starting to make more.

I agree I would not sahm without a post nup.[/quote]
