Ronald G. Steis, M.D. Husband and Jane Leslie Steis Wife married in 2000 and are currently going through a divorce. Husband filed a motion for partial summary judgment seeking a ruling that certain property acquired during the marriage is his separate property under the terms of the parties’ prenuptial agreement, and thus is not subject to equitable division. Specifically, Husband claimed as his separate property his salary from employment as an oncologist earned during the marriage and the parties’ jointly titled bank accounts, investment accounts, and real property, all of which he asserts were acquired with his salary. The trial court denied Husband’s motion, and we granted his application for an interlocutory appeal. We now affirm.

1. Prior to the marriage, both parties worked for Atlanta Cancer Center, P.C. ACC, Husband as an oncologist and Wife in an administrative capacity. Husband also owned a 9 interest in ACC.1 On September 14, 2000, two days before their wedding, the parties signed a lengthy prenuptial agreement, which the parties agree is valid and enforceable.
