Q: My husband and I bought a house in October 2021. He used $ from his 401k; Does that mean the house is his?
We moved from IL. I worked at a school, received unemployment which paid off all credit cards, his car, moving box, loan, his air b&b (he moved down in August/family in Nov) I am now contemplating divorce. Been married 7 years.
A: The general rule is that everything that you acquire during the marriage, both debts and assets, are considered marital. The home, being it was purchased during the marriage would most likely be marital but we would have to do a complete assessment of your case to say for sure.
