A:
The short answer is if you are married, you have a potential claim in a divorce action to a percentage of the equity in the home regardless of whose name it is in. What that percentage is, if any at all, will be dependent on a number of factors, that will determine what an equitable (or fair) split is.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns
Very truly yours,
Chris
