Re: Property in a 3rd parties name.
If I understand correctly, the property is not titled in either spouse's name. If that is the case and the property was validly transfered 8 years ago, it is not going to be in question. It does not belong to either spouse. A transfer shortly before a divorce can be examined and the value can be imputed to marital assets. However, it must have been tranfered within 2 years.
