Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Date unavailable
Nicole M. Graham, Appellant, v. Douglas E. Graham, Respondent.
Nicole M. Graham appealed the trial court's judgment dissolving her marriage to Douglas E. Graham, specifically challenging the finding that a waiver of marital interest in property signed by Husband was invalid. The trial court had determined the waiver was an invalid postnuptial agreement because Husband did not sign it freely, knowingly, and with full disclosure, and it was unconscionable. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, agreeing that the waiver failed to meet the requirements for a valid postnuptial agreement and was unconscionable due to lack of fair consideration.
