Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana

I have been in the middle of a divorce for the past three years, I found out today that my husband was allowed by our bank to refinance my home. My name was on this house that we built 20 years ago. We bought the ground first, we were married but he bought it under the heating and air condition business and his name. The bank refinanced this house in his name, he was laughing at me, telling me I no longer oqn this house. The bank told me because his name was on the deed of the ground and mine was on the morgage of the house this was legal, even though we had refinanced everything when the interst rates came down 10 years ago

I wish you had posted a question as I am guessing about what you are actually asking. Nevertheless, you may have the last laugh. Absent a prenuptial agreement, all property owned by a couple, regardless of title is considered in calculating marriage assets so you will get your fair share of the home' and land's value and you are now off of the mortgage! It is also possible, that the judge in the family law case could order him to give the home to you as part of the property division. This is too complex of a discussion to go into detail in this forum Contact your divorce attorney. Good luck.
