It depends on your state, but child support laws can take more of your money than asset division. The courts will usually give her full custody and then they will give almost every penny you earn to her until your kids are all 18.
The only defense against this is to not get married and have kids in a jurisdiction with harsh child support laws. California is one of the worst.
