    Default Division of Property

    My question involves divorce in the State of: Kentucky

    My wife and I have been living in our marital home for 7 and a half years. It was purchased 1 month before we got married and her name is on the mortgage and the deed. I provided approximately $2500 for closing costs for the purchase of the house and can prove that this money was transferred from my bank account to hers. I have also assisted in paying the $390 mortgage every month for the last 7 and a half years as it has come out of our joint bank account. Finally we recently took out a $7000 home improvement loan of which I am an authorized user on the card and I have been helping to pay this off too. As you can see I have put in a lot of money into this house and my question is if we were to divorce would I be entitled to anything from the house? Thanks in advance for your assistance

    Based upon what you've said, I think you have a good claim to an equal share of the increased equity.

    One more question. Can my wife force me to leave the house during a divorce? Once again I have helped pay the mortgage for the last 7 years as well as spending money on home improvements. Can I argue that all contents of the house that were purchased together be sold off and proceeds split?

    Thanks in advance
