Q: Me and my husband own a house he signed his name first does this mean if I divorce him I will loose my house
Due to constant mental stress and verbal abuse I want him out of my life. There are no kids in the home
A: Who signs first is not relevant. It may still be considered marital property and the court will divide it fairly.
A: It won’t matter which name is listed first. When it comes to issues like this it will likely to come down to marital asset, which are things gained during the course of the marriage. Work with an attorney who can help you with the proper course of action for the divorce.
