Hello all,
My divorce is very nearly finalized, with the only remaining question the transfer of the marital house. My stbx is to receive the house. My lawyer is claiming the only way forward is for me to sign a quit-claim, and have language stating my stbx indemnifies me from the mortgage payments and must refi as soon as feasible. My lawyer also claims the judge would simply award the property to stbx and write a document that transfers it as if I had signed a quit-claim. I am unsatisfied with this, as it leaves me fully liable (in the banks eyes) for a property I have no claim on. I believe this will prevent me from buying another house for myself for up to 25 years, the approx. remaining length of the mortgage. My lawyer claims banks will overlook this debt in the future.
I am very unsatisfied with this and would like to find out if he is full of beans. To complicate matters, we have a court date in two days.
