My husband left me for another woman that...?
he was already cheating with. I live in a non-community state (KY), I need to know what kind of post divorce I can get from him as far as bills that were owed before he left. The house is in my and his fathers names because he couldn't get credit. Can the husband take half of the property and what will I be entitled to at after the divorce. I would appreciate any advice I can get.
Thanks in advance
Thanks for the reply
, the property is in my and HIS fathers name. The father said he would have it taken out of his name but can the husband take half the proceeds from the sale of the house even though his name isn't on the deed? This is a no fault state.
Thanks

if your name is on the property i would think u could Force the sale and get half the equity in it. you will need to get an attorney but if the bills are in your name only then u will be stuck with them.

He could not directly get the proceeds, but there is nothing preventing his father from procuring half of the sale proceeds and in turn giving that over to his son. As both of your names are on the deed, the sale must be split half and half, unless you have any prior documents that just show him as a co-signed for credit purposes only. Whose names are on the sales contract of the house? As I said, if there is no other legal notation the house sale proceeds will go half to you and half to the father unless you take the matter to court...
This is an area I would highly suggest an attorney for, even though I'm a do-it-yourself person. There are many loopholes in the system that an attorney could clearly point out. Since you will be getting sale proceeds on a property, you should be able to find an attorney that will recieve payment upon settlement of the divorce, so look around, in this case the legal route is your best bet.
