i am a resident of pennsylvania, married 8 years ago, now soon to be divorced. due to poor credit, my father financed a piece of land for my husband and i to live at with our 2 children, the loan and deed for the property are solely in my fathers name with a lein on his home. we made monthly payments to my father and made the property tax payments which were also in my fathers name. is this considered marital property? would my husband be entitled to 1/2 of the equity in the property? does he have any legal claim to the property? could he force my father to sell the property?

My response:

I don't know what kind of written agreement you two had with your father about the property; but, taking your post on face value, with the facts only as you have written them here, then no, your husband has no claim.

The reality is that you and your husband have just been paying rent. The property is in Dad's name, and that's just the way it will stay. Neither of you have any rights to that property.
