Q: Can my husband try to fight me to get half a house if I plan to but it? We don't share any accts. leave abusive marriage
^*buy.
I have been planning to leave an emotional and verbally abusive marriage. I am making a safe plan to leave. I got a job and have been pre-approved to buy a home. Will my husband tried to fight for the house if he finds outs? I am sincerely doing this for my safety and my kids. We don't have anything shared. He has his own accounts as I have my own. We don't have anything to split as we kept things separately. No kids together. Can the divorce process be fast once I filed? I am looking for someone who can do the paperwork. I just need to know my rights. I don't want anything from him just to be in peace.

A: I am sorry to hear about your situation. In your situation, if you would like to purchase a home before the dissolution is final, it may be best to file for legal separation or wait until after a dissolution to purchase the property. Anything that you purchase after a decree of legal separation is yours. However, if you purchase the home during the marriage, it is marital property. However, there is no guarantee that a decree of legal separation would be granted before a decree of dissolution would be. The fastest way to complete the dissolution process is to reach a separation agreement that can be filed with the court to issue as an order.
