My friend is going through a divorce that looks as if it will get nasty. Both she and her soon to be ex-husband are living in the house that they have owned for the past 10 years. It is currently on the market. She has found another house and has an accepted contract on that property. Until recently, things were civil. Recently, he threatened to take 1/2 the equity in her new house, after promising to leave it alone if she went ahead with the purchase. Their house will be sold in the next month or two and then he will have to move as well. She doesn't mind being responsible for 1/2 of the mortgage payment on their current home she just doesn't want him to be able to do anything to/with the house she is planning on buying. Can they sign an agreement that he has nothing to do with her new home? Would it be easier for her mom to buy the house and after the divorce is final my friend can refinance the home in her name only? Any advice is welcomed!
