What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? I settled a paternity suit in Florida, the child was born there but I am resident of North Carolina and always have been. We executed the PSA (paternity suit settlement) on 4/18/14 and my financial affidavit was filled out months before that. I bought a house on 5/15/14 (that's when money changed hands and the deed was recorded ) The money was gifted for the down payment from my family after the PSA settlement was executed. The seller was commercial fisherman and signed the deed over to me on 4/16/14 (two days before the PSA was executed) because he was not in town for weeks.
The plaintiff's side has found out about the house and pulled the deed. They are alleging fraud in my financial affidavit as I did not disclose this house. Technically, I did not own anything as NC and FL are both considered "race states" in regards to deeds and nothing is owned or perceived to have interest in until something is recorded.
Any opinions would be welcome.
