Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Nevada
title ownership
My husband paid me 16k at time of our divorce in 03 and retained the house as his. I never quit claimed my name off, and he never refinanced in his name soley. I am on the mortage, deed, and insurance as joint tenant. My credit is adverse because of his payment history, and he now has house for sale which I currently reside in. Am I entitled to 50% since I am still legal owner?

Re: title ownership
So you're asking if you can take 16k to give up your claim to the house and then four years later say you own half the house because neither of you changed the title or executed a quit claim deed? How will you explain that to the judge? Unless the 16k was not for your ownership in the house, you have a contract that you both appear to have acted on. Of course you can claim half the house, but you'll need to explain all this history away.
Re: title ownership
No, you don't have a claim despite being still a one-half owner. However, you have a claim against your former husband for the damage to your credit report, especially if you can show he deliberately wrecked your credit.
