What is the name of your state? Alabama
I have been married for 5 years and left my husband 7 months ago. I am filing for divorce on my own. We have a home together, however he purchased the home before we were married. There is some equity in the home, however before we married he took out a second mortgage and owes back taxes. I want to know if I am eligible to recieve a portion of the equity in the home or is the second mortgage and the back taxes would have to be paid first.
The only thing that has both our names on it is a car, and I left that with him and he has been making the payments.
Would you suggest that I just ask for the divorce and none of the equity?
I have all the other possesions I want from the home. I didn't take any furniture however, so I was thinking that I should be compensated for something.
What is your advice
