Get a prenuptial and then move to Texas. It don't matter what state you get married in, it matters what state you lived in during the marriage. Texas you have to be married at least 10 years before she gets a dime. Just get a prenuptial, you will come out better in the long run if the laws change on you.

It doesn't work that way. What matters is not where you were married (although that could affect the validity and recognition of the marriage) but where you are domiciled at the time of the divorce and the jurisdiction in which the divorce is pronounced and, most importantly, whether or not there is a pre-marital agreement.
In some countries your respective nationalities could be relevant.
In England lately there has been a revolution in alimony and property division and you would be best advised NOT to live in England at the time of your prospective divorce. Assuming you ever get married, given that you have divorce on your mind already.

Nice try! Dont get married with the intent to divorce for starters. Im sure all states have a law that if she is self supporting and there's no great gap in your income over hers...there is little or no alimony. I believe my sis paid alimony or a settlement on a divorce.

Marry someone who makes the relatively the same amount of money as you do and there won't be alimony. Otherwise go with a pre-nup.

If you are asking about marriage and wondering about divorce before you even get there, I am not quite sure you are marriage material. People set themselves us for failure that way. It's like saying "Here's the beginning to our end". Not exactly a toast I'd like to hear at my reception. What happened to the love that is suppose to be involved? Richer or for poorer? If you are worried about your money, sign a prenup, it will protect you in any state if things go bad. I wish your future spouse lots of luck!
