Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New Jersey

Re: divorce home

While he has signed over the house, it depends upon if it was pursuant to some property settlement agreement between you, pre-divorce, yet as part of it, or totally gratuitious? If you have resolved your financial issues and are solely awaiting the formal declaration of divorce, this should close the matter. On the other hand, if this was done informally, it could have a bearing on other financial issues yet to be resolved, but be considered as part of the final settlement. I do not recommend doing anything with the Deed until you know more of what is still to be resolved, plus you should maintain control of the house until all matters are resolved. This should be reviewed with a matrimonial attorney before you make any decisions. You about to be "x" may have made some commitment that will be to your advantage in the finality of matters.
