Marital Property laws - Information on the law about Marital Property

I want to get married soon, however I'm waiting on a substantially large lawsuit settlement to come in. If I get married and then receive the settlement, will my new husband be entitled to half then? I live in Texas.

My dad merried his girlfriend of 4 years, 4 days before he died of brain and lung cancer in the hospital. She had purposely kept me away from the ceremony because I, like everybody elese from my side of family was unaware of this even hapening. My dad and I were very close and I believe that he was not in his right state of mind to enter a merriage in general. As this is no here no there, I would like to know if indeed she is entitled to 1 third as inheritance.

I am working with an attorney to get this merriage anulled based on hospital/medical records but it appears to be not as cut and dry as I hoped for. It would be much appreciated if anybody has any valuable information to pass on.

Thank you.

I have been married for two years, and bought a house with my wife about one year ago. We put both of our names on the DEED. My question lies in the fact that 100% of the down payment was money from the sale of a home I owned prior to our marriage. We are considering a divorce now, and I would like to know based on NY State Law if that would be considered Marital Property -- Did I convert my equity (was my own money) into marital property when we used it to buy the home we live in now.

Thank you

well i have a question if someone i know is getting a divorce and she sign her propert over to me and its comming back in my name while they are getting a divorce is the propert still mine and what are my rights

My husband wants a divorce though I don't. We live in a mobile home he aquired years before we were married. He does not own the property however, well actually he does he's just hiding the fact and also property his father left him which he receives money from so it doesn't affect his SSI. Am I entitled to any part of the land or the mobile home if we divorce? We live in New York.

I was married in February of 2008, in Arkasnas. My husband previously owned the home we currently live in now. He has an 11 year old daughter, and I have an 18 and 20 year old. Neither of us have a will. If something should happen and he pass away, would I be entitled to any portion of the home/property?

My husband and I are still married, however, we are in the process of a divorce in the state of GA. He was in a recent accident and now he is really forcing me to sign the divorce papers and take the parenting classes. Once before when I had a small law suit, I was told that his name had to go on the check because he was entitled to a portion of the money. Is this the same way for me considering the circumstances. I do not believe he has even told his accident attorney that he is married still.

I am selling a home in Ohio and have a spouse who is Central American and resides in Spain. Is my spouse required to sign the buyer's offer documents and Closing papers for the sale? We were married outside the US.

These are all good questions, why isn't anybody answering them?

Hi, my name is Destanie and I was married on Aug. 16, 2007, I have left the marriage for numorouse reasons, but I have a question about my car. My husband gave me a 96 monte carlo for my 30th b-day 07/15/07. we were married a month later. I never put the car into my name, but i still have the original title with his signature on it, he has since then applied for a replacement title making the one I have no longer any good. I have not filed for divorce yet due to money, he kept all three auto and I have no means of transportation to aquire a job or even take my daughter to and from school. I also found out that my husband has now sold my car to a friend of his. I had planned on asking for it back in the divorce. is there anything I can do now?

When you are in uncomfortable position and have no cash to move out from that, you will require to take the loan. Just because it will aid you unquestionably. I get sba loan every single year and feel myself OK because of this.

I have been married for 19 years In 2001 we purchased a home together I was on the loan and the deed Later on years after we refinanced the house and the loan is in his name We are planning to get a divorce am I still entitled to half the house in the state of Florida

I filed for divorce 9 months ago. My husband and I had both our properties appraised. Recently, I found out that his appraisal came in higher than mine on the most expensive home and he purposely had the appraiser change the existing documents to show the same appraisal as mine using different comparisons!! Is this legal in Arizona? Both of his appraisals show the exact same date but different values. Thank you.
