What does the judgment in the lawsuit say about this situation?Dreamweavn said:
What do you mean? This just came up so it is not in the original divorce papers filed.seniorjudge said:
So it doesn't mention the disposition of the real estate?Dreamweavn said:
Not the new real estate. 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?"seniorjudge said:
In general, no, but since the close of divorce is so close, why not just wait...
He should just put off closing until after February 4th. Its only 8 days away.Dreamweavn said: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?
