Corydon, IN asked in Land Use & Zoning for Indiana

Q: Hello, Attorney: I have a question about ownership of land

My husband purchased a farm property six days before our marriage in August 26, 2004. Since he had a bankruptcy, he had the land deed titled with his son's name so that he could get mortgage loan under his son's name. He paid all all mortgage monthly after we got married. I have all paycheck stubs with clear notes of those payments.

My husband filed a divorce now, I wonder whether I have right to claim this farm as our martial property? Thanks.

A: An Indiana attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for five weeks. You could repost and add Divorce as a category. Not all questions are picked up, but you might have better chances of a reply there - Land Use attorneys deal more with zoning, lawful uses/restrictions for property, and things along those lines. Good luck
