Can someone be on the deed but not the mortgage?
It is possible to be named on the title deed of a home without being on the mortgage. However, doing so assumes risks of ownership because the title is not free and clear of liens and possible other encumbrances. If a mortgage exists, it’s best to work with the lender to make sure everyone on the title is protected.
Can I change the locks on my house during a divorce?
The owner of the property has the right to change the locks. It may be best for the party who does not own the property to seek the other party’s consent or provide notice to the other party of their intent to change the locks.
Can you legally lock your spouse out house?
The simple answer to whether a party going through separation can change the locks on a property they are living in is usually “yes”. If there is no court order which affects that person’s right to occupy the property, then in most circumstances there is little prohibiting a party from changing the locks.
Can my husband ask me to leave the house?
You do not have to move out just because your spouse tells you that he/she wants you to leave. Both parties have a right to stay in the home. No one can force you to leave your residence without a court order unless there is domestic violence.
