If you are in the process of a divorce there is a presumption that that the transfer was for the purpose of dividing the property, however, the court retains jurisdiction to divide the property equally. There are two options, one is to divide the money, the other is to place the money in a joint account and leave it until there is a final division of property. The more expensive option is to file a motion to have the court determine what happens to the money.
