What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Idaho
--------------------------------------
Hello,
I am in the process of divorcing my wife and I have some questions regarding how to file the right papers. This is what I want to do:
1. I want to sign the house over to her. From what I have been reading I think I need to file a quitclaim deed. I found this one here: http://www.courtselfhelp.idaho.gov/documents/docs304/CAO 6-10 Quitclaim Deed.PDF
Is this all I would need so that she would take the house? I also want to make sure that doing this also clears me from the mortgage liability afterwards, is this a separate issue or is it taken care of by the quitclaim deed as well?
2. We both have cars with both of our names on them. Howe do we go about changing that so that her car is under her name only with her being fully responsible for it financially and me being responsible for my car?
3. Credit cards. We got one shared credit card that is paid off but under both of our names. I want to make sure that after I leave if she uses it that I am not responsible for paying any of it.
4. We both have our own 401K but we are keeping our own. Anything that we need to do here?
5. What about taxes? we used to file our taxes together, does that make a difference for next year?
6. Is there anything else that I am overlooking that I should be aware of?
Thanks for any help you folks can provide.
