It sounds like your husband has hired an attorney on a limited representation basis. That is, the attorney is just drafting documents, but your husband is handling the rest. If that's the case then this does sound above-board.

Not enough information in this question to really answer. If you rent are you on the lease? If you own the home are you on the deed? If the answer to these questions are that you're on neither a lease nor a deed, then there are some potential issues. If you are on either the lease or the deed... View More

You are going to have better luck seeking out an attorney who is willing to be paid by the other side then someone pro bono. In divorces where there is a significant income difference between the parties, the court can order the breadwinner to pay some or all of the attorney fees of the lower... View More
However I am supposed to get 15000 due to the down payment I made prior to us being married.y atty says I owe 47182. However I figured it as 109365/2 = 54682.5. Then I deducted the 150000 to equal 39682.5. My atty did the math 109365-15000= 94365/2 = 47182. What is the correct way to calculate this
answered on Feb 25, 2024
Your attorney is correct. You subtract the down payment from the total equity, not just a 1/2 portion.
