QUESTION
Do I have any legal rights to a home my husband took out a mortgage for for his sister
Asked on Mar 26th, 2019 on Divorce - New Jersey
More details to this question:
My husband took a mortgage out for a house for his sister. I was not aware of this. After almost 9 years, she gave him the money for the house, and the house was transferred to her. Presently, the house is up for sale. If I divorce my husband, do I have any rights to anything with regards to the house, such as 9 years worth of equity?

Thank you for your question. I understand your concern about seeking a share of the equity in marital property and the actions taken by your husband. The answer is possibly. The details of the transfer would need to be discussed to determine whether the property would be considered part of the marital estate for divorce purposes. I would strongly encourage you to schedule a consultation with an experienced family law attorney to further explore your options and remedies available.
