Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona

It is very common in a divorce for one spouse to waive their interest in the marital residence so long as the other spouse agrees to be solely responsible for all liabilities. This also should of course only occur as part of an entire, fair agreement on all topics.

I understand this can seem overwhelming and you sound like you're ready for the divorce to be over and done with.

You should consult with a Family Law attorney to be sure all the issues for a fair distribution of assets and debts are addressed. If there is a mortgage, with both your names on it, he would need to refinance to remove your name from the mortgage before you signed the property over to him. Otherwise the mortgage company could still seek re-payment of their loan from you. As for the 2008 tax credit, the re-finance paperwork and all other documents would need to be reviewed in order to determine what your options are.

I don't practice in Maricopa County, so I would not be able to represent you in court.

Good Luck,
