I heard that in the US, during a divorce, half of the wealth of a man goes to the woman. And if there are children, they go with the mother and the guy need to pay child-support around 1.5K a month. He added that it doesnt matter whether the female has a job, has properties, or even marries an other man later.

Is it true?

And he spoke about statistics, that most women divorce for reasons like "life is boring, not interesting anymore, you are too busy, you dont pay enough attention" etc.

I asked him "why did you marry?" (he married twice) He was silent. He is a real good guy. Very talented, perfectionist.

While I think if what he says is true, and if I belong to such a place, I wont marry! And my wife says, he should go for prenuptial agreement, defining what will be the arrangements in case of separation.

Are such agreements possible and stand valid in US court of law?
