What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida
I am going through a divorce. Before we got married 7 1/2 years ago, we purchased a single family home. I put the deposit of $200,000 on the house. As it comes to pass, I have to show the burden of proof that I put that money down. I do not have my bank statements or cancelled checks. I have called the bank and they have advised me that they do not keep records longer than 7 years and that they do delete them. My lawyer subpoenaed the closing attorney, but he does not have copies of the two checks (one for $20,000 deposit and the other for $180,000) that I made out at the closing!!!!! What do I do???? Am I out this money now?????? HELP!!!!!!! How do I prove that I put these monies down if I cannot provide any paperwork?
