What Property Rights do You Have as a Spouse

[jk]

I see. Thank you.
The deed is in his name only. This shouldn't matter ...right?

given the fact it was purchased during the marriage, I do not believe it does.

one word of caution: do not sign any deeds concerning the house (it would be a quit claim deed) unless court orders you to.

why?
Because then I would be liable for it? If so ..aren't I already?
And can you tell me if it will hurt me to now have the seperate checking acct's if it comes down to divorce? or doesn't that really matter?

And by the way ..thanks for the advice.

separate checking accounts won't make any difference other than it makes it easier for him to take money and hide it elsewhere since he can keep his account information away from you.

it has nothing to do with liability for the loan. Signing a deed relinquishes your interest to the grantee. I am not positive that is possible due to the dower laws (haven't read them lately) but you shouldn't do it because if it is possible, you will have relinquished all interest in the home acquired to date.

Interesting. Thank You.
