Is Jessica A Golddigger?

She deleted the question, but I still have it, so discuss:

If I divorce my husband do I get to keep the house?

I have been married to my husband for 6 months and I want to get divorced.

Before I was married to him he already had the house that we are currently living in. It was passed down to him from his parents and he owns the house. If I am married to him does that mean I also own the house? Or is it 50/50? If it is 50/50, does that mean I could choose to sell the house if we divorce, and would I get half of what it’s worth? I would prefer it if he moved out and keep the house, so will I be able to do that even if he owns the house or do I also own the house since we are married?

Okay, some people are telling me I won't get it and others are telling me I will get half of what it's worth. But what if he says he doesn't want to sell? What happens then?

Basically, I don't want to keep him, but want to keep the house. I know it sounds selfish, but I

Basically, I don't want to keep him, but want to keep the house. I know it sounds selfish, but I am the woman in the relationship, and I am pretty sure I have more rights.

My answer was: I sincerely doubt it. If the home was passed to him from family that's the first strike against you. Second strike is he owned it prior to your marriage. The final strike is the short duration of your marriage.

You might, and I say might, get 50% of any appreciation in the value of the home in the past 6 months. So if the home is worth $100K and prices are rising at about 3% annually, then you might get 0.75% of $100K or about $750. Where did I get that figure.

3% over 12 months/ 6 months is 1.5% Half of 1.5% is 0.75%

Frankly, if I were the judge and you brought this to me, I'd figure out what rent was on a home of this size

Update 3:

Her most recent question:

I have been dating my boyfriend for 4 years now, and I cheated on him twice. The first time happened 2 months ago and he found out and he was really mad at me, but he said he would give me a second chance. Last week I was at work and there was a really sexy guy and I started talking with him, and that led to going out for coffee and then that led to sex. I felt really bad and I told my boyfriend today, and he freaked out. He said I can’t love him if I cheated on him again and he said he’s finished with me, and he said that he wants a woman in his life not a wh0re like me. That made me really upset because I do love him and I’m not a wh0re because that guy asked me to have sex first. I thought that he would forgive me because I thought he would be glad that I was honest and told him the truth. PLEASE tell me how I can make hi

    what a cow! yes i agree - bigtime golddigger. great answer by you, $750 sounds more than reasonable

  • If you've only been married for 6 months, and the house was passed down to him by his parents, I don't think you'll get anything, especially the house. Anything that you guys purchased since you're marriage, you have rights to half, and if you had been married for years and this was your lively hood as well, and you had children together or something, you may be able to get it, but in your current situation, no way. Now if there's some reason why the marriage is being broken up that is totally his fault and you can PROVE that, you MIGHT have a better chance. Personally I don't see how you can even think you're entitled to his house 6 months worth of trying to make it work isn't really trying?

    She is deffently a GOLD DIGGER!!! If that house was passed down from his parents then what right is it of hers??? She shouldn't be able to get it if he fights hard enough. When my boyfriend was going threw his divorce his wife tried the same crap but since his parents had put down the down payment and co-signed she couldn't touch it. Although she got to choose what she wanted inside of it. Which was alot better then her taken the house... Especcially when she didn't deserve it..

    the reason she is now ignoring you is because you probably did not arise for her on the workplace get at the same time. at the same time as someone is insulting your female friend at a get at the same time with you contemporary, you should step between them and take her area, even if it ruins the ambience or no longer. the reason your colleagues are not afraid to step down or ask for forgiveness is precisely because you received't arise and take care of your female friend. For this, no longer even your colleagues will respect you as a guy. earnings levels do not recommend a issue at present and age except even if you may live on in this contemporary monetary equipment. I actually have 2 graduate aspect levels and that i in undemanding words make a touch more beneficial than your female friend because of being in diverse occupation fields, yet does that recommend i'm any a lot less knowledgeable or decrease classification citizen? for sure no longer! i'm also no longer some geeky nerd with a 4.0 gpa on my own, i myself participated in 2 college activities communities besides. if you're suffering to discover strengths that your female friend has, then you definately can remind your colleagues that a minimum of she has a job in this monetary equipment. what number of those with more beneficial preparation levels can easily even get a job those days? how a lot of what you discovered in college is unquestionably utilized on the job even? maximum folk study the abilities they favor at the same time as on the job. she has a job, she's knowledgeable in her own correct (she were given her degree on her own and not in any respect very few handout to her), and also you should also remind your colleagues why she is your more beneficial useful 1/2. in case your colleagues stay obdurate of their procedures then remind them that they are harassing a fellow colleague and also you'll record it to the HR, and in the journey that they have got connections in the HR, you may bypass to the BBB. also leave a paper path of every time they harass your female friend and your tries at intervening in case the HR or BBB or manager or courtroom choose needs information to back-up your case adverse for your colleagues. in case you want to marry her for more beneficial useful or for worse, then that's the way you'll practice her she will have self assurance and position self assurance in you.

    You don't get the house. It was his sole and separate property prior to marriage and unless he deeded half of the home to you, you get nada. You may get some of his retirement (401K, IRA, savings account balance) but it would be best for you to consult a practicing attorney in your state for advice (not a bunch of Yahoos who don't know the law). :)
