Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

me and my husband are going to be divorced. we've just decided that we can't stand each other and this relationship will not work. i have two properties under my name but on both deeds it says married next to my name. does that mean that my husband also has any rights on the house and if yes then what kind of rights. one house has 185k in debt and the other one also has a morgage of 145k. when we apply for a divorce then what will happen to these both houses.

Assets earned during a marriage and not acquired as a gift or throught inheritance are usually

distributefd between the parties on a 50/50 basis. If you owned the properties prior to your marriage but deeded the properties to owned by you and your husband they probably became marital asset through your gifting same to your husband. Perhaps you have some loophole. Speak to a lawyrer in his or her office.
