What is the name of your state? Louisiana
My husband & I are sep. for about 4 months. He tells me he wants to buy a house, but wants me to sign a paper saying I will not want half if he sells it. Neither of us has filed paper yet. Can he purchase a home right now? And should I sign any papers? |

A: Yes, if he has the money or the credit.
Q: And should I sign any papers?
A: If you want to help your husband get a house, yes; if you do not want to help your husband get a house, no.

Your husband could be using marital assets to purchase this house. If you sign the papers you could lose your fair share of those marital assets. |

| | | I don't know. I know he has a lawsuit pending(??), maybe he rec. money I don't know about from that. His accident only happened 3 1/2 months ago. He also could be just playing me to see if I'll freak out because he wants to purchase a home. He does play alot of mind games. I'll contact my lawyer & ask for his advice, but I'm not signing anything. |
