Do these things hold up in divorce court?Yes and no.
If you are wealthy (and I mean really wealthy) and she is not, AND you have no children-EVER-a prenup is a good idea.
Once you have a child, the courts will use "child support" to take anything that they cannot get from "alimony", and prenups with regard to child custody and support are almost never found valid.
HTH.

I heard the oddest things about prenups. There are lawyers out there who say there isn't a one written that they couldn't break in court.
Was driving cross country several years ago and a radio talk show had Marvin Mitchelson, the famous Lee Marvin/Michelle Triola palimony lawyer on the show. He said that prenups were the only way to go. The host then mentioned that Mitchelson had recently gotten married and asked if he had a prenup. Mitchelson said no. He stated that it all goes to trust of the other person and if you have that trust, you don't need one. Kinda confusing if you ask me.
