I'm pretty sure the author is male. I wasn't as confident about it until I got to number 14.

"14. If I marry and quit my job and enjoy a leisurely life with light housework and then later divorce I will be given half of the marital assets."

"a leisurely life with light housework".

You could hire babysitters and maids and your wife do absolute nothing but still request half the money. So?

Or the ex-husband could empty the bank accounts, hide the money and cheat on his tax returns to avoid paying alimony. Meanwhile the ex-wife is trying to make ends meet through food stamps living in community housing with the 2 kids, unable to afford lawyer fees. That's a true story.

Btw, nowadays half of the marital assets is half of the debt...

Lol, hide money on his tax returns? What kind of backwards country do you live in? When I do my taz returns, they already have all my earnings from bank interests, salary, dividents paid prefilled. You can't hide money easily.

Everyone needs to get a prenup so that they don't get cleaned up in case things don't go as planned.

He runs his own small company (lawn care, snow ploughing). Off the books payments are still huge in certain sectors. It's very easy to hide earnings.
It was all a clusterfuck anyway, teen pregnancy, unfinished school (remedied now including college degree), prenup wasn't considered.
