Using your scenario, the man’s wealth would not automatically be protected. Several factors would come into play, including jurisdiction and what, if anything, the girlfriend/lover/whatever contributed to the relationship after they were together. The guy would also be responsible for child support. Anyways, in a case like this, there would probably be a little shifting of wealth in the direction of a few good lawyers. Setting the potential legal problems aside, if it were me, I wouldn’t stay in such a relationship. I guess I’m a bit old fashioned. This is an interesting question.
