AboutKindred Beisinger penname K D Elizabeth Beisinger Expertise I can answer general questions regarding separation, property, and some custody questions. I cannot answer legal questions or specific questions pertaining to individual states and counties. I can offer support through the pending time, as well as offering assistance and ideas as you move on as a single individual. I can tell you how to avoid repeat pitfalls and help you learn to leave old baggage out of new relationships. I can help you work through the contemplative time of "what if" and "if only." I am able to offer advice in dealing with unnecessary guilt, undeserved judgment, and share insight as to discerning between concerned friends, family and coworkers and nosey gossips.
Experience I have been divorced more than once and am now married to my soulmate. We are living the exact life we both wanted to build 30 years ago, long before we ever met. Well actually it's better than I had dared hope.
Question my father did a quick claim deed leaving me his house 1 yr before I got married, we have been married for 4 yrs now. If we divorce, does he have any rights to house? The house is still in my name only and was paid off when my dad gave it too me.
Answer Dear Diane,
I am not an attorney, but the house should not be considered marital property. And since he has not even contributed in the way of payments, I'd say he's got no way to claim anything on it. Now, if he's made major improvements, such as a roof or something, he may be able to ask for reimbursement. In marriages in which there are no children, no assets acquired together, and less than 10 years, usually, everyone just agrees to go their separate ways and take what they started with and move on. That isn't an absolute, but it is the norm.
I'm sorry this didn't turn out as hoped. I wish you well.
Kind Regard,
KD
