The way it works in communal property states is that a spouse is entitled to 50% of community property, aka property (money) that was earned/achieved when the couple was together. The court looks at this as the "couple's" money, rather than the husband's money.

Pre-nups can't change that, that's the law. A valid pre-nup could protect your spouse from acquiring property that you had/earned before you were married. For instance you're already a millionaire before you ever met your wife - you have a lawyer draft up a pre-nup and she might not be able to touch that money.

However a pre-nup can't save you from paying out that community property that's """lawfully""" hers. A Judge would ignore any language that tries to do so and might even punish you for trying to do that.
