Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland
house purchase while legally separated
I have been separated since April 2005, but legally since
May 2006, I want to purchase a house and need to know if my husband would have any rights to a house purchased before the divorce, the divorce has been a drag out all this time
and the property is available now and I do not want to lose out on this opportunity. Thanks for your reply.

Re: house purchase while legally separated
Any property acquired during marriage, unless specifically disclaimed through a separation agreement, is subject to division during divorce.
