I am in the middle of a divorce and would like to know what it means to sign off exclusive rights to the home?

I have been married for 38 yrs. and am divorcing my husband because of constant infidelity over the years. He basically ran me out of the house of 28yrs. I am now being asked to sign off on all exclusive rights to our home. My husband is living in it now. What does that mean and what am I giving up basically?

    He cheated on you, not the other way around. Don’t sign that! You need to find a lawyer, and fight for that house.

    From Personal Experince. IF it is a co0mmunity property state force a sale of the house and split the money.

    How would you feel if after the divorce another woman move into the house with him. I made that mistake and regret it.

    Hire an attorney and do not sign anything without an attorney advice.

    Good Luck

    here’s how i see it….if this is what you’re lawyer is suggesting and asking for you to do, then go with their advisement. if you do not have a lawyer and this is what your husband and/or his lawyer is advising, then do not touch one piece of paper, let alone a pen until you’ve got a lawyer on your own side!

    It basically means that you have no entitlement to the house if you sign it. You give up any and all rights to anything concerning the house. If he sells it, he keeps the profit and you get nothing.

    If I were you, I would not sign it. Contest this. Not only did he run you out of the house, he wants you to be left out of any and all profit if he were to sell it. The judge can demand that the house be sold and the profot from such be divided equally between the two of you.

    It means once he sells the house you won’t get your share.All the money will go to him.Please don’t do this move back into the house and work something out.

    you are entitled to some proceeds of the value of the home. your husband is asking you to give up your rights. if i were you, i would not sign off and i would challenge him for possession of the home.

    he is playing hard ball…

    You would be losing all of the equity in the home. Typically, the house is either sold and the proceeds split 50/50 or one party has to buy out the other’s equity share.

    Don’t sign off on the home. Get a lawyer—NOW!

    I am sure that there are many divorced people that can help you here, but also ask this question over in Law and Ethics. They should be able to help you out.
