Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia
Home loan
I recently got a divorce, and my ex got custody of the home we purchased together? Since the Home Loan is my VA Loan and he is a co-signer, how can he have full control? How is this legal? Shouldn't he have to re-finance in his name? I tried to contest this in court, but I didn't get any straight answers.

Yes, it would seem that your former spouse should've had to refinance the property in his name, but if the attorney which you hopefully had representing you didn't ask for it, it's not surprising that apparently it was not included as part of your final decree.
