> Monaco is actually pretty biased against women in its divorce laws

Monegasque divorce laws are not gendered and there are plenty of wealthy women in Monaco.

Alimony also has a fixed time period of 5 years.

What part of that do you find controversial as opposed to practical? Its more like generous severance as opposed to a perhaps merely more familiar concept of alimony.

This would give the liberty for MacKenzie, for example, to be sure that she got her own vesting agreements and her own shares in the organization they founded together. It moves the agency back to the individuals as opposed to assuming they are going to be starry eyed infants that are going to get screwed over. If people want to decouple marriage from any financial considerations, this is the way to do it, focus on the love. If they want to be business partners then write them into the separate business. If they want to have their supporting unpaid labor valued, then their moonlighting as a personal assistant is valued in the six figure ranges just like professionals.
