    Default Buying a Home During Divorce

    I am looking at an impending divorce...nothing has been started yet but I think it is going that direction. Our house is in my wife's name as she had it before we were married and I dont want anything out of it from her.

    Problem is I now have to find a new home. Does anyone know if it is possible to buy a home in Minnesota while still married and not have your spouse have an interest in it?

    Default Re: Buying a Home During Divorce

    It's sensible to wait until the divorce is final to buy real estate, but if you really want to buy sooner make sure that you work through your divorce lawyer so that you're protected from any future claim against the real estate both by the divorce judgment and by any necessary execution of a quitclaim by your spouse once the divorce is final.
