Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Property Division
I owned a home in NY. I then married and moved to Fl. in a home my husband bought with a mortgage. Our monies were never co-mingled. I then sold my NY house and bought one in Fl cash. The house is in my name only as the money was mine and he did not contribute any. His name is on the tax papers because he had to sign for the Homestead. We are looking to get a divorce.We sold my husbands house and moved into mine mortgage free.
My husband purchased a pool for my house. He now wants the money he paid for the pool with interest. I feel that living in my house with no mtge pymts for 4 years should wipe out the money he put into the pool. He would have been paying a mortgage if we still lived in his house. Please let me know where I stand.
Sincerely,
Patricia Grandinetti
