We have recently separated. The RV was officially paid for within a few days after we began spending time apart. If titled only in my husbands name would there be any issues of equal ownership if we divorce?

Generally, anything purchased during the marriage is marital property, subject to an equitable division in a divorce. An exception would be if the money came from his separate property, such as a gift or inheritance.

You will have to go through your lawyer. Your lawyer should not have a problem with this. If your lawyer is unwilling to do this, you can ask the lawyer to withdraw and then you can file it yourself. This could also be handled at the initial status conference.

You do not need any special language. It does not matter when she cashes the check. The key is that she needs to put it into a separate account in her name only. If she puts it in a joint account with her husband, it will be considered marital property in the event of a divorce.
She had 2 years to get refinanced and now it 4 months past that. I keep filling motions because it was already meditated, but she won't comply and won't agree to a new mediation. My last motion to go back to the original order has been denied. What can I do ? She's just prolonging... View More
