Q: My husband and I did not receive premarital counseling before we married on May 10, 2023. Do we have a valid contract??
My fully paid for home in Moore was destroyed by a tornado 10 days after we married. The proceeds from that ($250,000) were invested in the husband’s property. Can I get any of that property back?
A: The first question is a hypothetical, which I can't answer since I don't know what the law will in May of 2023. The second question is that if the original home that was destroyed had your name on the deed, or was by financial equity of some kind marital property then you have a pretty good chance of clawing back some of the property value in the new home. Tough questions because there is so much more information needed to really give you a complete answer. You should contact an attorney.
