Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts

Re: divorce

This depends mostly on the length of your marriage. In a long marriage, you would be entitled to a greater share. Also - contribution counts. Whose money paid the down payment? If you have been paying the mortgage only a short time and your wife paid the downpayment, she may have more of the house. Perhaps you have paid all the other expenses of the family for 10 years. I just don't know. Contribution to the marital enterprise has a lot to do with it. There are 20 separate factors which the court weighs when deciding this. It's a bit more complicated than your question admits.

Re: divorce

Absolutely. This is the marital home and/or joint marital property regardless of how the title reads. Further, you contribute to the care and upkeep of the premises. Contact me if you would like us to represent you.

Re: divorce

I would agree with Attorney Weicker. Regardless of whose name is on the deed, or any other assets, including 401k, retirement, vehicles, bank accounts, etc are considered marital assets and are all factored into distribution at the time of divorce. I you have any questions please contact me.
