Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana

Re: remarried my husband 1 month after our divorce, he wants equity from house I

The generally principle which is applied is that all property aquired in the course of the marriage is placed into the "marital pot". It is then from that point that all claims made by the respective parties must then be sorted out.

It would seem that from the circumtances given, that even where you remarried to the same person, the situation would be treated as it is, a new marriage. The person whom you remarried would not appear able to obtain an interest in that which he was divested from when the first marriage had been legally dissolved by the court. Based on these limited facts provided, the Charcter of the property seems now to be separate and aquired before this new marriage was enter into.

Again from the facts as presented here, unless you titled some interest in the property owned previously to your current marriage , your former and now current spouse invested money and/or services to improve the property or otherwise a gift in interest was made by you to him, that his claim would not seem like a very strong one.

However, by making such claims which require you to invest more time and money into the divorce, this may be seen as a tatic to force to settle on this issue rather than spend an amount equal to or greater than the amount of equity demanded.

Assuming that you have an attorney representing your interests, you may wish to discuss the specific issues with him or her as that person would have a greater understanding of all the facts and issues then presented here for this discussion. It should be this person who conducts the appropriate research for the case law you seek. If you do not have counsel, then consider retaining one as soon as possible.

The above is only a general overview of the issue and topic raised and SHOULD NOT be relied upon as legal advise applicable to your case or as a subsitute for consulting with your attorney.
