What is the name of your state? Florida
A year and a half ago at the beginning of our divorce process, my spouse said if I didn't refinance (i.e. a new note in my name only) the marital home that he would. I did get approved and he was there at closing to initial papers. Since then, I've been making all mortgage payments on the new mortgage and paid all expenses relating to the house out of the maintenance he gives me. The divorce is still not final (his attorney dropped him for some reason) and my husband is angry that the house has appreciated in value significantly and that I may see as much as $80,000 profit now that I financially need to sell the house. He doesn't think it's fair that he not share in on the appreciation of the house. The Quit Claim Deed was supposed to be done within 30 days after the divorce is final. In fact, he hasn't been interested in doing the Quit Claim ever since he realized how much the house has been appreciating. He has refused my offer of executing the Quit Claim earlier and I think he's counting on sharing in on the house's appreciation. Is this likely to be ruled in his favor? I would appreciate any advice. Thanks.
