Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts
Need your advice
Male, 29 years old, first marriage, married 15 months. We have no kids, little savings together and live in a house in my name only which was bought by proceeds from another property I owned before our marriage. I make a great income 185K per year. My wife does not work. Would I have to pay alimony to her, How much? Also would I live in the house during the divorce process because it is in my name? Any help would be appreciated.

Retain an attorney who will need to discuss your situation in confidence and in much more detail to answer your questions responsibly.
Re: Need your advice
the court would evaluate all the facts of the case in making a decision. You likely would not have to pay alimony, for long, if at all in a final decision, but you may have to pay temporary alimony until the case is resolved. The court would also decide who lived in the house on a temporary basis until the court made its decision. Furthermore, your wife may be entitled to a portion of the appreciation of the house since you were married. I'm sure there are other facts that may affect the judge's ruling. Please call if you have questions 978-869-1072.
