Legal Question in Family Law in Tennessee

Am I entitled?

My Husband and I have been married 5 years. We own no property other than our house, paid for, and 2 vehicles. Husband is emotionally abusive, marriage is dead. He states I am not entitled to any monies in our home because the down payment came from his trust fund. My car is paid for. Is he correct? I feel so trapped, no money to leave, or rent an apartment of my own! I am disabled, can't work. Thanks.

Re: Am I entitled?

Your question is: " He states I am not entitled to any monies in our home because the down payment came from his trust fund... Is he correct?" It is hard to answer your question without more information. But if he took his trust fund money and put it in a house in your joint names, the answer is likely that you have an equitable interest in the home. Best of luck.
