Q: Q: I am married for 12 years in June 2020. My name is not on the deed and it is heir property left to my husband.
What are my rights in a divorce settlement? He is a retired military also. There are no children. Thanks.
A: If the property was used for the common benefit of the parties during the marriage you have a right to that property as divisible marital property. If he inherited it and you never used it as a married couple, it is not part of the marital property. If he inherited it and you did use it for the common benefit of the parties during the marriage then it is divisible property and you have a right to it in a divorce.
