We cannot provide legal advice and guidance here. Ohio does not require residency to marry. Outsiders simply file for a marriage license in the county where the ceremony will take place. Using an old address means nothing. Also, there are no easy outs. An error in providing pedigree information... View More

If you are doing it pre-divorce, and transferring for no value, then the court can make you pay back the marital equity to your spouse in the divorce as you... View More

The wife doesn’t want him there
answered on Oct 24, 2022
If there are no court orders, then both spouses have equal access to the marital residence. It doesn't matter whose name is on the deed or lease. If a divorce is filed, then a spouse can ask the court for exclusive access to keep the other spouse away. But the judge doesn't have to agree.

We are divorcing. Can I record a Quit Claim deed to him for my marital equity prior to divorce so I can obtain another home?
answered on Oct 6, 2022
The divorce will divide assets, equity, and debts between the spouses, to determine who gets what and who pays what. A Quit Claim Deed would not be effective until after the divorce has been finalized by the court. Talk to your divorce attorney about it, or use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a... View More
