After 18 years of marriage and four children, with husband's net worth in excess of $22 million, the Georgia Supreme Court enforced a prenuptial agreement that granted wife $2,900 per month of alimony for four years and husband all the marital assets. Mallen v. Mallen, 622 S.E.2d 812(Ga. 2005). In another case, the Georgia Supreme Court held that husband's failure to disclose his income was material to wife's decision to waive alimony and thus affirmed trial court's denial of husbands summary judgment motion. Corbett v. Corbett, 2006 Ga. LEXIS 204 (Mar. 27, 2006). A North Carolina court reversed a summary judgement for husband when wife questioned the voluntariness of the prenuptial agreement which was presented to her while en route to the wedding. Kornegay v. Robinson, 625 S.E.2d 805 (N.C. App. 2006). An Oregon appellate court held that a choice-of-law clause in a premarital agreement meant that California law governed construction of the agreement but Oregon law applied to the property division. Procter v. Mavis, 125 P.3d 801 (Ore. App. 2005).
