Re: house dispute
Situations like this are extremely complicated. If the house is not titled in your name or your husband's name, then it may not be a marital asset at all. However, you can assert an equitable interest in it by virtue of the money you invested in it, but this must be done in a certain way, and typically it requires naming the titled owners as parties to the case.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
