I didnt quit claim anything. The title of the house is still just in my name. I talked to a very expensive divorce attorney and he said Nebraksa is a no fault state so house issue not related to divorce, all property we had before marriage goes back to original person.
Ummm, except NOW he has a valid lien on your place after paying off your mortgage.
FYI:
Nebraska Property Division Factors
Nebraska is an "equitable distribution" jurisdiction. The spouses retain their separate property acquired prior to the marriage. All of the spouse’s marital property, including any gifts and inheritances acquired during the marriage, may be divided, based on a consideration of the following factors: (1) the contribution of each spouse to the acquisition of the marital property, including the contribution of each spouse as homemaker; (2) the economic circumstances of each spouse at the time the division of property is to become effective; (3) the length of the marriage; and (4) any custodial provisions for the children. [Revised Statutes of Nebraska; Chapter 42, Section 365].
When dividing property in dissolution of marriage, the first step is to determine what property is considered marital. Since Nebraska is an "Equitable Distribution" state, all marital property will be divided in an equitable fashion according to the court unless agreed to otherwise by the divorcing spouses. What does "equitable" mean? Equitable can be defined as "what is fair, not necessarily equal." To automatically believe the marital property would be divided 50-50 would be a wrong assumption in any equitable distribution state.
