We have purchased a house since we have been married but its entirely in her name although I do contribute $ and labor towards the restoration. Need to find out exactly where I stand. Thank you
In order to invalidate a contract, you must show some type of defense, such as that is was signed under duress or undue influence, that it is so one-sided as to be unconscionable, or that you were not mentally sound at the time you signed it and therefore did not have the mental capacity to contract. Just the fact that you chose not to have a lawyer review it before you signed it is not going to be sufficient.
