Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts
Divorce and property
My husband left me for another woman and is living with herin her home. I live in my house with my daughter, son-in-law and two grandchildren. I have done all the remodeling, yard care,etc. and worked for twenty years to help pay for everything.
When we divorce can he make me sell and give him half? I don't want to displace myself and family. The deed is is still in both our names.

Re: Divorce and property
There is no easy answer. Theoretically, there is a presumption that is about 1/2; but this can be contested. You have a recourse, and for a deeper explanation, I suggest you contact an attorney in your area.
