Do I keep my house I purchased before the marriage?

Answered by attorney Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Divorce lawyer at Donaldson Stewart, P.C.
If the property was purchased prior to marriage and you did not add her name to the deed during the marriage, then then presumption is that the home is your sole and separate property. She might be entitled to some kind of reimbursement for payments made toward the mortgage during the marriage, but that is more complicated than what I can describe here. I recommend you consult with an attorney to discuss this in greater detail.

What does court require to prove child is not the husband's child?

Answered by attorney Mark T. Peters (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Peters Law, PLLC
The court will require a DNA test of the child and the putative father. You will have to ask for a court order for the testing to be done. The wife will not be able to refuse that. If you want to make sure that you don't pay child support, ask the court to hold off on a final decree until the baby is born and the DNA tests are performed. I suppose it is possible that the court could grant the divorce and keep jurisdiction over the case until the child is born.

It depends on the language of the final judgment. Have your attorney review the document. If no attorney ask the bank personnel who is handling the refinance for opinion.
