Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland
property bought w/marital funds
my stbx's g/f purchased, with cash a home for them in WV.
I have subpeoned the title company and I'm quite positive my stbx gave her the money to buy the home and put it in her name so as to keep me from being able to do anything about it.
If I find out the funds came from him, will the courts do anything about it? What are the options that the court may do about it?
Thank you

Re: property bought w/marital funds
If you can establish that he secretly funded this purchase with marital funds, you will argue that what he did constituted dissipation of marital assets, and therefore that amount should be included in the "pot" when it comes to dividing up marital assets. If that is the only such asset, he should owe you money, most likely half what he gave the g/f. Remember, marital property is defined as all assets acquired by either party during the marriage, except by gift or inheritance, or traceable to a premarital asset.
