Indian Trail, NC asked in Divorce for North Carolina

Q: After we were married my husband upgraded his Time-Share involving me making the payments each month. $543 x 48 mos.

I also purchased a 1957 chevy Bel air for $20,000. It's under his name because I had bad credit. He said after I paid it of he would transfer it to me, he hasn't. Now I filed for divorce, what can I do?

A: Did you file for equitable distribution? If not, you need to do that BEFORE the divorce is entered by the court. In NC, that claim will protect your marital interest in the property regardless of title. The claim just has to be pending when the divorce is entered. There are no forms to file equitable distribution, so you will need the help of an attorney.
