How does a judge decide who gets the house in a divorce?
In most divorces, the marital home is a couple’s biggest asset. If a judge determines that the marital home is one spouse’s separate property, the solution is simple: the spouse who owns it, gets it. It’s a lot more complicated when the family home is a marital asset.
Should I stay in the house during a divorce?
Should I Stay in the House during the Divorce? There is no harm staying in the marital home while the divorce is proceeding, unless the court orders a spouse to do otherwise. Without a court order specifying otherwise, each spouse has an equal right to use and occupy the marital home.
How do I find hidden assets in a divorce?
You may find bank statements, stock certificates, or title to property. Typically, it is easy to store documents away and hide them from the other spouse because when we have no reason to go looking for things, we do not. This may be one of the easiest and most effective ways to find hidden assets.
