Signing Requirements

Agreements must be in writing, signed, notarized, and recorded in every county where the couple holds property affected by the agreement.[1]

Laws

Validity: Spouses can contract with one another subject to the general rules of common law that control the actions of persons occupying “confidential relations” with each other. Confidential relationships have a more vital obligation to deal fairly and truthfully.[1]

Spousal Support: Postnuptial agreements that limit spousal support may be subject to additional scrutiny.[2]
