| | | Community Property and Quit Claim Deeds
WA State - My girlfriend is having some issues with her soon-to-be ex-husband. They are seperated, the divorce is final on Feb 4, 2005. He has already put an offer on a new house and wants her to sign the quit claim deed. The offer on the house was made after they were seperated and the divorce was filed for. Q: Is she legally obligated to the house and/or is she required to sign the quit claim deed?

The wife has the house they had when they were together and they have agreed that she is to keep that house. The ex-husband to be, during the separation, has made an offer on a house and the bank and/or title company is requiring him to have his soon-to-be ex-wife sign the QCD. She is not on the paperwork for that house and has had no dealings with regards to the purchase of that house. Maybe a better question is …"During separation, after the divorce has been filed for, can either party incur debts or liabilities and the other party be held responsible since they are in a community property state?" |

Okay, have wife tell husband to wait till the divorce is final and he can buy anything he wants. |

| In general, no, but since the close of divorce is so close, why not just wait... |
