What I am entitled to regarding our home?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James T Weiner (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at James T. Weiner, P.C.
The fact that the home was refinanced, is now in your name (has to be to have the mortgage in your name), that you have made numerous improvements to the home during the marriage with marital funds and the longevity of the marriage most likely means that it is now marital property and the equity is subject to being split in a divorce. So yes he can probably keep the home but he may owe you $48K for your half of the equity in the home. Plus you need to insist he refinance it again to remove your name from the mortgage. There might be some room to argue that he should first get equity he had in the home prior to marriage if any (how much did he put down on the house when he bought it).

You would have to be a resident of New York for a year and be married for at least six months. Service of process in India is done under the Hague Convention in most cases - however, a recent Federal Court decision may have opened that to question under some circumstances.
