A postnuptial agreement is a contract created by spouses after entering into a marriage that outlines the ownership of financial assets in the event of a divorce. The contract can also set out the responsibilities surrounding any children or other obligations for the duration of the marriage.

Postnuptial agreements are generally enforceable if the parties of the document adhere to all state laws regarding inheritance, child custody, visitation and monetary support if a divorce does occur. Property division is one of the primary concerns with a postnuptial agreement.

Before proceeding with a postnup, it's also worth keeping in mind that these agreements are easier to enforce in some states than in others. Most courts tend to uphold the agreements as long as they're written, signed without coercion, and involve a full disclosure of financial information on both sides.

As a result, special care must be taken when drafting Oregon post-nuptial agreements.

For example, if a marriage was void from its inception, any post-nuptial agreement would not be enforceable.

What can invalidate a pre- or postnuptial agreement? Being coerced into signing the contact, signing under duress or signing without mental capacity. Having a contract that is too lopsided. Executing a pre- or postnuptial agreement without legal representation. Showing that the agreement is fraudulent.

The enforceability of a postnuptial agreement in California depends on whether the agreement meets the validity requirements. If the agreement is valid, it is presumed enforceable in court.
