If home was refinanced after marriage under both spouses,is it equally distributed if divorce is filed

Sabina Tomshinsky
Answered by attorney Sabina Tomshinsky
Divorce lawyer at Home Town Law, P.A.
If a new deed was prepared after you were married that added you as one of the owners of the home and that property is now held by both of you as tenants by the entireties, then the home is presumed to be a marital asset subject to equitable distribution. As to the mortgage, that morgage would also be subject to equitable distribution. It would be best to have an attorney review that last deed to the property and advise you accordingly. Good luck.

In joint legal custody agreements, between parents living in different states, who makes final decisions regarding the child?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney John F Brennan (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Musilli Brennan Associates, PLLC
Generally both, then the primary custodial parent and of course the parent with the custody of the child at the time. Disputes are settled in the court which had jurisdiction over the divorce and therefore the child.

If the respondent is in default for not coming to the initial divorce hearing, do they have to show up for any further hearings?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney John Hanna Sibbison (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at John H. Sibbison, III Professional Law Corporation
No, there is nothing that compels them to go to any hearings but they run the risk of having the court make an order without their input or objections.
