[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you focus on joint goals that you may not have achieved for now? For example, use your extra earnings to fully fund 529 plans, and get an agreement from him that in the event of divorce, they will be deemed assets of the children, managed by you? Maybe you live off your matched joint earnings and you invest your excess in accounts you control? [/quote]

This is exactly what I’m thinking. Except if our marriage breaks down I want to fully keep those accounts (not 529s) I control. [/quote]

I am a man.

In this scenario if you asked me for a post-nup at this point in our marriage when you start making bank, I would say no.

Then what?

Divorce seems obvious. You will pay alimony and a higher amount of child support. [/quote]

Child support, yes. Probably not alimony. You might as well spend your extra money on a nicer car for yourself, spa days, better clothes. [/quote]

9 year marriage with a large income differential? Yeah that’s gonna be about 5 years of alimony in most states and 50/50 division of assets and debts.[/quote]
