Consult with your lawyers on options. They should be able to walk you through that.
Typically spousal support is a a year for every 3 years of marriage (although this varies by state), so I would check that what the formula is in yours and then decide if you want to adjust it. You may also want to add a fixed per kid type of a number for spousal support to account for loss of comp - again you may want to understand what alimony is like in tour state as well and use that to guide your decision.
This really seems like something where your lawyer should give you some guidance on what is permissible and enforceable in your state. For example in a few states you can specify in a prenup that both sides give up spousal support rights, whereas other states that will just get thrown out by a judge.
And I believe it’s almost impossible to enforce anything about child support in a prenup—that will get totally disregarded in favor of whatever is best for the child(ren) in case of a divorce.
If you both make the same amount of money and you have roughly the same value of assets coming in then you don’t need a prenup. A judge will throw out anything unfair to either of you and you’ll end up splitting everything in half anyway if you get divorced
...to structure it. We both have a similar income now, but when we have kids & I take ~4-6 months (or longer?) per kid, it’s obviously going to result in lost career progression, etc. Fiancée had a bad divorce in his fam, where his uncle has had to pay spousal support for over a decade & neither of us wants that, but we’re not sure what’s normal/common/fair
