The latest ruling I heard is that the divorce  laws  of  the  state  you're
residing in at the time of the divorce take precedence over any pre-nuptial
agreement, marriage contract, etc.. _Do not_ count on such an agreement  to
stand up in court in the event of a hostile divorce.

Ironically, the only way to make such an agreement work is to draw  up  the
contract  and  _not_ get married.  It then becomes a matter of contract law
(and all that implies).
