I notice a lot of them like to hide that they were a piece of shit husband when they tell their sob story though, either cheating themselves or just drunks who would rather go out with the boys every weekend instead of doing the family thing.

My understanding is that you cannot avoid child support via prenuptial agreement.
As a general statement, prenuptial agreements are generally most effective at preserving the net worth that you had at the time the agreement was signed. Everything that happens after the agreement is signed can come into question in a contested divorce, regardless of the assumptions that were made with respect to the future when the agreement was signed.
This is why prenuptial agreements should be renewed on a regular basis, for instance, annually.
Of course there are always exceptions... and I'm not a lawyer that practices family law... so assume the above statements to be completely incorrect.
