You could implement a custom validator like "RequiredIf".

That will keep your model design quite obvious (unlike client-side-only solutions proposed). This allows you to keep the validation logic separate from display logic (that's what MVC is all about).

See this answer : RequiredIf Conditional Validation Attribute

and ultimately that blog post : Conditional Validation in ASP.NET MVC 3
