Q: Can I ask husband refinance our home and pay my equity and remove my name from the home & property prior to divorce
He took me off joint bank accounts, cell phone plans and car insurance this past fall 8/21-12/21. 1/5 he turned off access to hot water and washer and dryer. I had surgery 1/7 and I'm currently staying with family in Missouri recovering.
A: In most situations there are automatic injunctions put in place to prevent the changing of bank accounts, insurance, and utilities and the like. You need to consult with an attorney on this so that you can be represented fully. To your other question, yes you can ask, and file a joint affidavit for the sale of the home with the sharing of the proceeds, however, that doesn't mean that he will have to agree and therefore you would be stuck, again an attorney should be able to help you expedite this matter but you need to talk to one and let them know all the details because every case is different and thus no blanket answer can be given. Best of luck.
