Question Both of our names on our two bedroom condo and also on a 7 1/2 acre lot. My husband said he needed me to sign the bank loans and deeds for him to proceed with property aquisition. Now, we are getting a divorce. He thinks we split the sale of the lot plus minus from my % what he paid for the lot and any improvements. Is this true? Unlike him, I supported any financial decisions he wanted to make even if I did not really agree. I think giving him the condo and splitting the total profit of the lot in Carroll Co fair. I am afraid he will bully me out of everything! Please advise
Answer Dear Kacie
The best step you can take is to educate yourself on your rights- visit divorcesource.com and your own state's bar association site (they often have free online guides and articles on divorce in their state). You may also want to confir with a legal professional. If you educate yourself then you have at;east the knowledge of what he is looking to do. You may find that when he realizes that you are aware of what your rights are, he will be much less likely to "bully" you.
Some other sites that may be helpful are: equalityinmarriage.org, womansdivorce.com, aaml.org, and nolo.com
I hope this was helpful.
