For years our Firm has litigated this issue because the family law lawyers often don’t know how to handle the real property side of a separation agreement. It’s not hard, but it... View More

You should stop posting information online since you have admitted to a crime. You could be charged with fraud and theft. I would not speak further with anyone about this case. You should retain counsel if you are charged.
