Q: We have two houses, one is under his name and other is under my name. If we divorce, each one will get one house?
we been married for 22 years and we both own a house. He bought his house before our marriage, but using our bank account to pay for his property, utility bill and any fixing of the house. My house was bought less than a year ago, with our join account money. But he sign a disclaimer deed, do I still have to give him 1/2 of the house?
A:
If you and your husband settle your case, it can work out so that each of you keeps a home. If you do not settle, anything can happen during a trial. If the case goes to a trial you will have an agreement made for you by your Judge and it may not be ideal.
Your case involves two valuable homes and other assets. I strongly recommend that you seek the advice of a family law attorney to give you the best chance of a good result from this divorce.
