[quote=Anonymous]Divorce lawyer here:

If you're looking for information about how to protect yourself as the lower wage earner or someone who may leave the workforce for a period of time, that's wise so long as the other party agrees. Often that is structured as a payout based on the length of the marriage and it could possibly include spousal support based on the same idea. For example:

If the marriage lasts 24 months from the date of the marriage up until the date of the last separation, then Mary shall receive $x, payable as follows:

If the marriage lasts 48 months...

etc.

The above amounts shall not be cumulative.

You would want language about where Mary will go if the marriage fails and is living in a home that is her spouse's separate property (how long to get out, can she stay for awhile, etc.) and if Mary puts any money towards the equity of his separate property (i.e. if he gets all real estate in his own name and she pays for a new deck or mortgage payments, how will Mary get this paid back)?

The other side should pay for your attorney but it should be one you find on your own.[/quote]
