For most women, the commitment and financial security of a marriage is preferrable over living together as a longterm girlfriend. However, there were also exceptions from this rule, e.g. if the woman is financially better off than the man.

It has also been stated that very often, women still get screwed over in a divorce. Especially if there are children involved, they end up losing most of their income.

How do you solve this problem? Is it possible to create a prenup which will take into account the unpaid labor a woman puts into a relationship and her lower income potential if she becomes a single mother? Can a prenup fix this? If not, what do we need to do in order to protect our livelihood in case of divorce (except constant vetting and not marrying LVM)?
