Prenuptial Agreements in Oklahoma
In Oklahoma, prenuptial agreements (also called antenuptial or premarital agreements) are valid.  These are agreements made prior to marriage in anticipation of divorce.  Oklahoma courts will enforce their terms regarding support alimony as well as property settlement as long as some requirements are met, namely that:

• The agreement is fair in its provision for the spouse opposing it,
• Full disclosure was made to the opposing spouse of the financial situations of the other or that the opposing spouse had a generally accurate knowledge of the financial situation of the other when the opposing spouse executed the agreement.
• The agreement is not void as being against public policy.

Post-Marital Agreements in Oklahoma
In Oklahoma, post-marital agreements (also called Separation Agreements) are also valid.  These are agreements that are made during the marriage when a couple is separating.  This is usually done in anticipation of divorce to deal with the marital situation in the interim.  This type of an agreement allows the parties to make arrangements that go beyond what the courts are able to do in some respects.  For example, a separation agreement can allow the parties to extend child support payments to cover a child's college years, or alimony payments to extend beyond the alimony recipient's remarriage.
