I recently sold my home and had equity of 40,000. I inturn gave that to my what was going to be my future mother in law to repay her for the $40,000 she lent her son for a down payment on his house. We have recently seperated and i am just curious if I am entitled to any of the down payment I gave him for the house. The house is exclusively in his name.
