What is the name of your state? I live in Florida, but the question pertains to North Carolina. i am recently divorced- no fault, sought by the ex-wife. All she asked for in the divorce was that her maiden name be reinstated. We actually own property together, which was given to us as a wedding present..free and clear ,no mortgage, in both of our names. The property consists of a 3.3 acre parcel containing a house and a farm. I recently received papers in the mail from her lawyer basically asking me to sign over my share as a gift. I also just found out that the property is for sale. The property has been leased out for some time now, which i do not receive any of the profits. The original divorce papers never stated anything about the property or any of the other assets that we aquired during our marrige, which i now am realizing that it is a problem. My purpose for seeking advice is to find out what type of lawyer i need to help me getr some sort of buy out or to make some sort of monetary agreement for the property that is in both of our names. Also, how do i respond to the papers without signing them? Any advice or help would be appreciated!
