If the co-owner of house voluntarily leaves is he still responsible for costs to maintain and/or sell?

Peter David Ticktin
Answered by attorney Peter David Ticktin (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at The Ticktin Law Group
Yes, each party is responsible. However, there may be a credit given for the equivalent of rent to the party who resides in the house. The verbal agreement was probably with no consideration, and there is a law in Florida called the Statute of Frauds, which makes a non-written agreement regarding real property unenforceable. So, you are able to negotiate a new deal. It gets a bit confusing with all the financials, so the best bet is to come to terms with each other, and seek a peaceful solution. I hope that this helps. I realize that the deal is a bit complex and that a simple response may not be sufficient. Hopefully, though, this will give a better idea of the law, so that you can get this settled.

Am I entitled to the IRA money during a divorce if it was opened prior to the marriage?

It appears that if you made absolutely no contributions during the marriage and you can show that the IRA contributions were solely made prior to marriage, then that IRA would be considered your sole and separate property. It does not get factored into the division of property during a divorce.

Is she entitled to any of my earnings while deployed?

As long as you're married to her you're under a mutual duty of support. Presumably you're drawing BAH at the married/with dependent rate, so the bare minimum the Air Force expects you to send her is the difference between the married/with dependent rate and the single rate. If your marital status is getting you more money than you're sending her, relax and bank the profit, and don't rock the boat too hard an argument could be made that you should be sending her the whole BAH since presumably you don't have any housing expense of your own while deployed. On the other hand, if she's actually costing you more money than she's gaining you, or for other reasons you're eager to get a divorce or annulment, you don't have to be on the ground in Texas to file and get the 60-day clock turning.
