Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Re: Protecting myself in case of divorce

This response is intended for informational and educational purposes only. Sound legal advice can only be given after a full review of your case and all issues surrounding it.

The loan is the debt instrument, not the asset. What is important is that you get your name on the title to the house. If the house is built after your marriage it will most likely be considered a marital asset. After all, regardless of who is on the loan, it will be paid back with marital assets. Additionally, Florida law gives specific rights to spouses with regard to the family�s homestead. You should probably sit down with an attorney, and without your husband to discuss your rights.
