Marital Property

McKee-Johnson v. Johnson

Held that antenuptial (prenuptial) agreements allocating marital property are valid under Minnesota common law but must satisfy both procedural and substantive fairness, with the proponent bearing the burden of proof.

Nardini v. Nardini

Established that the increase in value of nonmarital property attributable to spousal efforts during the marriage is marital property subject to equitable division, while increases from market forces remain nonmarital.

Zander v. Zander

Held that a court awarding joint custody over one parent's objection must make detailed findings on each statutory factor, and that tribal per capita payments received during the marriage are marital property subject to division.
