In absence of transcript of hearing in divorce proceeding, trial court’s determination that there was full and fair disclosure by husband of his financial information, with respect to execution of postnuptial agreement, was supported by trial court’s findings in record that wife had access to husband’s family business financial records up to point where she filed for divorce, that she keyed family business financial information into computer for family, that she handled husband’s paychecks and paid family bills, that parties had not been separated for substantial period of time when she filed for divorce, and agreement explicitly provided that each party had “knowingly and voluntarily chosen to forego” formal discovery, investigation, and analysis of other party’s financial condition and to “accept the provisions of this agreement on [the] basis of information acquired prior to this date without further such discovery.”
