When selling a house for a divorce, if a down payment was made, does the person get it back before house is split up?

Morghan Leia Richardson
Answered by attorney Morghan Leia Richardson (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Richardson Legal PLLC
The answer really depends on the down payment: was a gift to you and your husband, or just a gift to your husband? Generally, any equity put down from one person will be credited back first before the remaining equity is divided. It sounds like your MIL put down some money and lives in the house, making payments, and she may be an owner of the house with you and your husband, in which case she would get her money and equity back. Talk to a lawyer in person to get a more detailed answer because property issues are very fact specific. Good luck!
