without my knowledge, as a “single” man. Does anyone know what kind of affect this has on my interest. It seems he has pulled the majority of our equity out. Thank you
My Husband Bought Our House Prior to Marriage. Now We Are Getting Divorced and It Seems He Refinanced It Twice?
It seems like he was preparing for divorce. You can’t blame him for that can you? Now you need to find the money.
Probability are excellent that he has. You should contact your attorney. He/she will know more because it depends on a lot of particular details.
as he bought the house prior to your marriage…don’t you mean “his” interest, and “his” equity?
Since it was bought before marriage it’s his house. You would be entitled to the equity in it but if he’s refinanced it and zapped up all of the equity then you lose. Sounds like he force have been preparing for divorce. If you want to get divorced terrible enough, just walk away. Why worry about the $$?
i’m not sure but if he refinanced while you were married, the equity that occurs from the time he refinanced until now …you get half. if he didn’t refinance i reckon your still entitled to half the equity accrued, if you didn’t do a prenuptial, you can place a lies pending on the property though so if he tries to sell in the future you can get your money out a lien on the property, you need to consult an attorney, did you hear about the female in england getting a divorce from a well-known producer and place all their dirty laundry on youtube, it got like a million hits and he chose to be more honest int he divorce, .also when he refinacned the proerty becmae a marital asset and if you dodn’t do a quit claim deed then legally that following refi dones’t count you can ***** up the loan by calling the lender saying the title is gray and the refi is not valid.
You need a lawyer. Quick.
Since the house was bought before you married, it is his house. And, since you were not on the deed or the mortgage there is nothing prohibited with him refinancing it.
But, if you contributed any money during the marriage and depending on what state you live in, you may be entitled to part of the equity.
This is were a excellent attorney comes in.
Good luck to you.
