Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia
Removal of husband from deed
I will be charging my husband with abandonment. He moved out while I was at work and has his own apartment. He refuses to sign a quit-claim deed just being spiteful.
He is not on the loan, just the deed. At the loan closing, it was mentioned that even though he couldn't be on the loan, he could be on the deed.
What are ALL the options that I have to have him removed?

Re: Removal of husband from deed
If your husband remains in the immediate area and you have his contact information, it's doubtful that your proposed charge of abandonment will prove legally viable as a ground for a fault based divorce.
As to the marital home, if he refuses
to convey his interest in the property to you, then a divorce court judge may have to determine what share, if any, he should receive in the property through the judicial remedy known as equitable distribution.
