Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana
Getting a divorce with a new home pending
My husband and i are about to file for divorce and we are currently having a house built and we have not finished signing all the legal documents and he is now saying that he is going to put it in his mothers name,the only thing we have signed so far is a agreement that we will pay and we've already put a down payment on it ,can he do that without my signature?

Re: Getting a divorce with a new home pending
You own 1/2 of the property and are responsible for 1/2 of the debt. If he cannot pay his 1/2 you will have to foot the remainder. He can donate his 1/2 of the house to his mom, but it appears he is obligated for his part of the debt. You need to speak with a divorce attorney about this right away.
