Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania
If I own my home, no mortgage payment, then borrow against it for a line of credit, pay off all joint debt, then divorce how do I still keep the house
1 Answer from Attorneys
I am not sure that I understand your question, but the house will be considered part of the marital estate. If you would like to keep the house, then that is what your lawyer will try to accomplish for you. You may, however, have to pay out part of the equity in the home to your spouse to get her to agree and if there is no agreement, the court may order you to pay a portion of the value for you to keep the home.
The best I can say is to consult with an attorney. Equitable distribution claims can be very complicated so you would not want to try this without a lawyer.
If you are in the central PA area and would like to retain a lawyer, feel free to contact me.
