Q: Can you buy property as soon as you file for divorce in Louisiana? Will that property be separate property?
My husband wants to buy a separate house so his son can have it but we aren’t divorced He wants it to be separate property so I don’t have rights to it
A:
If your husband's name is not on the Act of Sale or mortgage, no problem.
If your husband is going to be on the Act of Sale or mortgage, then a Real Estate Attorney can draft Waivers of your rights in the property and waiver of your liability for the mortgage. Have your OWN attorney read both before anything is signed.
