“I owned a home before my marriage. Now I am getting divorced and my husband has been added to the deed. Can he only get a portion of the house since the time we were married (3 years)? Is he entitled to more?”
Question: That will depend on many factors, including whether the state in which you live is a community property state, and whether marital income was used to pay down the mortgage. You should consult with an attorney familiar with the marital property laws in your state.
