re: Why doesn’t everyone sign a pre-nup?

Half of my salary regardless of what she makes? Half of the house I bought?

Did you own the house outright before marriage? If not, even with a prenup she will get to have a stake in a portion of that asset. Probably not 50%, but most likely 50% of the principal amount that was paid during the marriage

I don't think the 1/2 your salary no matter what she makes is a thing; but when it comes to alimony, unless she did one of the specific things you list in your prenup, she most likely will be eligible for some alimony.
