My question involves a marriage in the state of: TN(But we are legally married in MA)
Okay, I am splitting up with my wife whom I am legally married too in Massachusetts but not here in TN as they do not have same sex marriage laws.
It has been a real nasty split and we have to file for divorce in MA but we are not able to just yet, but we are splitting and trying to split up our assets.
We have 2 vehicles which are both in my name, one is paid off the other half way paid off. We both deposited money from each of our checks into a joint account to pay
our bills. She has been saying that we have to split everything down the middle and I need to give her one of the vehicles and pay her cash on the other, demanding I pay her cash back for medical bills she incurred for our dog 6 years ago. All this is frivolous right?
Basically what I'm asking is even if were not legally married here in TN would I be forced to give her one of the vehicles or split all of our assets in half even though she did not contribute half.
I am going to consult a lawyer next week but trying to get as much advice as I can until then.
Thank you all in advance for any advice anyone may offer.
Thank you so much!
