A: The hold is not relevant to division of property. However, there may be cause for a restraining order and removal if violence is occurring. Speak to an attorney now about your options.
A: No, that’s true. The house will likely be considered marital asset. However, if you are destroying things then the police could be called, and I don’t think that’s something that you want. It’s best to keep your anger in check and work with an attorney who can help you with the proper course of action for the divorce.
