What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
Ohio.
It would be so helpful if I could get an answer to this question:
My boyfriend is legally separated. He already has a settlement agreement from his ex. However, he is about to close on a new house at the end of this month. He is waiting to file for divorce after the closing. He told me that there is no way to prevent his ex from showing up on the title/deed of the house even though they are legally separated because the divorce is not final. Is this true? He said he would have to get her to sign a quit claim, because of dowry rights? From what I have researched, I thought the dowry rights only had to due with the sale of the house, not purchasing. Is there no way he can purchase the new house with only his name on the title/deed?
Thanks so much.
