You’re ambitious. You’ve worked hard to build your career, and your future earnings are likely to outpace your current income. But here’s the thought that keeps you awake: If my marriage ends, can my spouse claim a share of everything I haven’t even earned yet? It’s a valid concern, especially in New York City where financial stakes are high and courts have broad discretion in divorce. At ASJ Law Office, this question comes up in almost every prenup consultation with executives, professionals, and entrepreneurs. The short answer is: Yes, a prenup can protect your future earnings, if it’s drafted correctly.
At ASJ Law Office, we see this question every day in New York’s family courts and executive offices. And here’s the truth: prenups don’t kill romance, they protect it.

They don’t stumble into lifelong commitments blind. They know exactly what they’re building together, and they know how to protect it. So let’s walk through why prenups often strengthen not weaken marriages. Let’s walk through this together so you know exactly what child support includes, how it’s calculated, and why relying on someone else’s story won’t give you the full picture.
Sarah is not the kind of woman who avoids responsibility. She runs board meetings, leads major projects, and balances a demanding career with motherhood and partnership. Jake is equally driven, balancing his professional career while building a family. Together, they have built a life filled with success, assets, and a vision for the future. But when it comes to protecting that future, most executives fail to prepare until it is too late. Marriage can be a beautiful partnership, but it is also a legal contract.
