Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts
who gets the house???
my friend bought a house before she got married.her name only is on the mortgage. 1 year in the marriage she took a home equity loan in both hers and her husbands name to pay off his debts and had to put his name on the deed. During their 3 years of marriage he never paid for the mortgage or the home equity loan or for any other household bills and provided no spousal support. they are now separated but he claims that he's entitled to 1/2 of the house if they get divorced.
does he?

Re: who gets the house???
Division of assets is not a science. THe facts presented, if true, provide a very strong argument for giving the wife the entire house, and requiring him to pay at least part of the equity loan.
Your friend needs to get a competent lawyer to represent her. I would be happy to consult directly with her.
