Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

is it marital property?

my stbx had money wired to a titling company in WV for the purchase of a home. But the home is titled in his g/f's name only. The money has been proven to come from the refinance of OUR marital home. I was told the house in WV is now considered marital property BUT what actions can the court take about the house since it's not titled in my stbx's name?

Re: is it marital property?

If your husband has used marital funds to acquire property in another state and in another person's name, there is a limit to what a Maryland court can do about the out-of-state property. What the court can do, however, is take the refinance and the property acquired through it into account when making a marital award in your divorce case. I strongly advise you to consult with an attorney about this issue as it is not a simple matter to deal with.
