That is what community property laws are for. The parties are free to change things by agreement, but the law ensures that, in the event the marriage ends by either death or dissolution, the spouse who earns less is protected. It also protects the spouse in the event the other spouse attempts to give away community property.A pre-nup can also help the spouse who makes less or has less during the marriage to get a reasonable share of the community property.
