divorce and the house husbands name only on title for house but both names on loans?

lovenlight08 asked:


I am getting divorced and my name is not on the title to the house it is only on the mortgage loan and home equity loan, does this mean I am not entitled to anything from the house when we divorce, I am at my wits end now I thought my name was on the title to the house , I was just informed it is not on title only on loans
am I still entitled to anything now or not? he purchased the house in 1998 we got married in 2001
he has supported me since 1998 due to me not working due to health issues
just to add to this for some , I have contributed to the house during the past
11 years. and I am not looking to live in the house, I am not looking to keep the house either
there was no pre nup signed either.

    This is a serious issue. You should get a lawyer.

    I believe that what you are entitled to really depends on the state which you were married.
    You should be entitled to SOMETHING, get a good layer.

    You haven’t worked since 1998 and now want half the house? He bought it before you and HE made all the payments, you aren’t entitled to any of it, you didn’t pay for any of it! How selfish can you be?

    Whats his is yours no matter what . Down the middle when divorced.

    If there was no pre- nump ..you will get half.

    the answer to that depends on your state laws. You should ask an attorney or call a title company, they have an attorney on staff that can answer that as a general question without consultation.

    from my knowledge it means he owns the house but your liable for the repayments if he defaults, although when their dividing up the assets you should still receive your share of the equity in the home.

    You will get a portion of the equity that was paid since you got married if marital funds were used to pay the mortgage or if you contributed to the upkeep or improvement of the house.

    Otherwise, it’s his.

    If he bought the house before you were married, why would your name be on it? I don’t think it would be part of community property under the circumstances. You’d really better talk to an attorney.
