Is my husband still entitled to our house even if I bought it before we got married?

Jack W. Abel
Answered by attorney Jack W. Abel (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Abel & Zocolo Co., LPA
Generally, property acquired before a marriage is considered separate property and is to be awarded to the spouse who owned it prior to the marriage. Although there are exceptions, in your case I would feel fairly confident that he would be entitled to nothing.

Can my wife come with a u haul truck and clean out our home while I am not present?

Lori Nevias
Answered by attorney Lori Nevias
Divorce lawyer at Lori Nevias, Attorney at Law
No, your wife can't do that. As soon as the divorce action was filed, both you and your wife were subject to "automatic orders" pursuant to the NY Domestic Relations Law (DRL) 236(B)(2)/ 22 NYCCR 202.16(a), that prohibit you both from taking marital assets or incurring unusual debts with joint funds. You need to request a court conference immediately, so that a judge can explain to your wife that she cannot do this and if necessary, seek a restraining order against her. Ultimately if she did take anything considered a joint asset, you will be compensated either directly or by an offset when the assets are divided pursuant to a settlement agreement or court order.
