Sorry this is a little long...
My husband and I have been together 7 years and married almost 3. We purchased our first home in 2015 while we were still dating. His parents provided us a loan to assist with our down payment and we make monthly installments to them.
In 2018, we sold our home and used the proceeds to purchase a new house. We have been in this house a little over a year now.
My husband has never helped with bills, I always used my money for household bills and he paid for fun stuff and food. Nearly a year ago, he became distant and I had to pick up his slack as far as food goes and do nothing fun because I am living paycheck to paycheck.
He has told me he wants a divorce. He has agreed in writing I can have 60% of the proceeds of the sale of the house after debts are paid. At this time, no paperwork has been filed.
I am considering purchasing a town house for my daughter and myself to live as it is far cheaper than renting. The proceeds of the sale of the house will allow me to do this and put 20% down on the new home. He is willing to sign paperwork that it is my sole and separate property.
My question is when we divorce will the Courts see this as sole and separate property?
I don't seeing him trying to argue for it or anything because he wants to make sure me and our daughter have a place to call home but there's always the what if...
Or would it be better to wait until the divorce is finalized to purchase?
