My husband friend has a notarized letter saying that if my husband cannot make payments then the house will be return to the friend. Also the house is in my husband name. I did not sign any papers.
A:
It's impossible to answer without more information. It depends on whether on whose name the house is titled in. You should consult with an attorney about your specific case.

A: There are a number of factors that would need to be considered to determine whether the property is a marital asset. Some of these factors are whose name the home is titled in, whether this was a home purchased during the marriage or a gift from the friend, whether you have contributed to the appreciation of the home, etc. You should consult with an attorney who can analyze the specific facts of your case.
