Here is my question..I am a Grandmother and I live in Central Florida...I was married for almost 20 years..been divorced now for a few years...When my EX and I got married, he had a nice parcel of land...we lived in a small trailer..We had farm animals and grew a big garden and lots of babies.One day he comes home with blueprints and had a beautiful home built. A 2 story log cabin..my Dream home. For many years I stayed home and took care of my family..we were very active in church and community.Raised our chuldren in that home.
Fast forward 20 years. After I caught him living with some girl he met in a strip bat..I filed the divorce. I moved out of the home..I asked him for the next 2 years, before I caught him cheating if he was making the house payments. He told me that the house and property had been foreclosed on and he had lost everything to the Bank.
When we went to court to get the divorce, he told the Judge we did not own anything. A few years later, my daughter is a Mortgage Broker and one bored day she googled Daddy's name.All these public records came up....He had sold everything..Sold..walked right into the Title company and signed an addvite stating he was single and unmarried and walked out with a Huge check. Left me and children penniless. we were still married at the time.
I ralked to an Attorney last year and he said there was nothing I could do about it..I was on the Title and all the Mortgages..but apparently EX never put me on the Deed...How can he get these Mortgages and Loans without me being on the Deed...we were married when the house was built..I am thinking about going after the Title company..Do I have any rights?? and how can he walk into the Title co and tell them he was Unmarried at the time and get away with this?? What should I do??
Should I hire another Attorney?
its too late now u should have gotten an attorney right away and asked for half the property. u had to sign divorce papers, u should have contested it then.
just cause u were married doesnt mean ur name had to go on the deed to the house or the property.. with that said can u prove all of this? if so id talk to an attorney to see if u can put a civil suit against him to retrieve assets that he lied about.. if u cant prove this, then ur out of luck..
Try what you can, but your expenses have to be kept down. Lawyers are able to get rich off of people like yourself. You should at least try to find out how much he sold that stuff for.
U should have gotten a prenup!! You can at least ask an attorney. Stop asking or believing him y should you? he literally screwed you over y trust him?!
