If you wish it to be valid in Tennessee, it will need to conform to Tennessee law. It may be possible for it to be signed in the DR. Your home and the alimony issues are probably something you can resolve by a prenup, but you won't be able to do a binding agreement about custody. Custody will always be decided using the children's best interest, no matter what a prenup might say.
