Would it be possible, in lieu of a prenup which may do little to the settlement, to sign a contract that says a majority of the guest list of the wedding must agree to any divorce settlement?
Pre-nups are ridiculous...

Sam,
I like your premise. Isn’t there a line in the opening of the ceremony where the pastor or judge says something like, "before God and these guests"?
These people are getting a free show and probably a decent party at the conception (or is it reception, always get mixed up on that one) afterwards. Don’t they owe something to the marrying couple? It would seem to me that the vows were made to the entire assemblage of people; shouldn’t a few of them approach the divorcing couple and tell them that their promises/vows will no longer be considered valid from that point on. Better yet, take away their lines of credit – if you give up on a spouse that you promised to love and cherish “till death do you part” then how could you possibly be trusted with a frivolous thing like an auto loan?
