Legal Question in Family Law in New York

Re: Home Ownership

If it was the marital home or it was brought with joint assets, or if he contributed to the upkeep of the home in anyway he would have a right to an equitable share of any appreciation in the value of the home during the course of the marriage.

Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can e-mail me for more information about low cost face-to-face, on-line, or a telephone consultation with a lawyer in our office.

Re: Home Ownership

The separate character of the house will depend on where the money to buy the property came from, whether your spouse contributed to the property during the marriage and whether other marital assets may have been been contributed to or co-mingled with funds used to maintain or service the property. I suggest you consult an attorney to discuss the particulars as soon as possible.
