Would a pre-nuptial agreement in MD help protect a third wife from future spouses second ex-wife in NC if ex-wife decides to motion the court for more alimony in the future? or is keeping your assets separate after marriage the only form of safe-guarding yourself? I realize child support is the sole responsbility of the parent but what about ex wife coming after future wifes assets for more alimony?

In Maryland they have what is called ante nuptials. It actually doesn't go in to effect until after the wedding. This agreement doesn't protect a spouse from an ex spouse per se, but rather it protects the spouse from some ramifications that may stem from a divorce. I have not seen where a Court grants more Alimony when a person takes a new spouse. It doesn't fluctuate as a rule after a divorce is final. It isn't like child support which fluctuates based on income. Alimony is generally a finite amount of money for a finite amount of time, based on a multitude of circumstances within a particular marriage (i.e. length of marriage , work history of both parties and income to name a few). I think you should definitely consult with a lawyer, but maybe a nuptial agreement is not what you are looking for, but a way to keep your money protected from outside "sources" so to speak.
