Signing Requirements
A marital property agreement shall be a document signed by both spouses.[1]
Laws
Marital Property: Property acquired during the marriage is usually divided equally between the parties. But a court may alter the distribution if the parties make a written agreement before or during the marriage concerning arrangements for property distribution.[2]
Binding Terms: Property distribution agreements are binding unless the terms of the agreement are inequitable to either party. Courts shall presume any such agreement to be equitable to both parties.[2]
Inequity: An agreement is inequitable if it is unfair in the way it was obtained or in how it distributes property rights.[3]
Unconscionability: The court decides whether a marital property agreement is unconscionable.[1]
