If I gave the property and the house in a divorce and she still has it in my name do I still own it?

Answer 1

Is it in writting that you gave it to her? If its on paper that its hers its hers but if its not its yours! You know she could really F you if you dont get your name off...let her not pay any taxes on it or anything and they will come get your ***.

Answer 2

State laws differ from State to State but I've been through divorce and if you gave the home to her during the divorce you have no right to the home. It took my ex 9 years to refinance then I found out that she had to put the mortgage in her name because I was no longer responsible. She could ruin your credit if she doesn't make the house payments.

Answer 3

If you signed the papers to give her that stuff then it's legally hers BUT if she don't put it in her name then any debts associated with it like a payment or taxes comes back on you. If there is a payment on the house and she files a chapter 7 bankruptcy then that goes on your credit she has to go through the process of changing things over completely getting your name off the documents or you are liable. I heard a judge say that.

Answer 4

If she is living there and it's in your name, you would be responsible for making the payments. If you don't want that responsibility you should have the lawyer draw papers for you to sign off.

Most people have their house in both husband and wife's names. If one dies, it automatically goes to the other. In divorces, at least in my state, the house would be sold and the equity divided among you. That seems a fair way to do it to me.

Answer 5

Per the courts, she owns it.I would advise you to get the title transferred.Until you do,you can be held liable for the property-payments,accidents etc..Peace.

Answer 6

No, not if the divorce papers signed it over to her. It's hers, but then again, you are not responsible for any bills incurred if you relinquished all rights to it. (a good thing!)

Answer 7

BEFORE your divorce was ever granted. You had to sign a Quit Claim deed.

Did you sign this deed?



Thats your answer. If you did, she doesn't have to take your name off. You already became leagally unbound. Owner/Responsibilty.

If you didn't sign this Deed, hmmmm. :)

Answer 8

if its in writing signed by a judge then no , you need to tell her to take steps to remove your name.if something bad happend, like a drug raid or a wild party you could get dragged into it, and that would suck, then you gotta get your paper and cops gotta verify.
