Question:
If I purchased a home twelve years after a legal separation, is it still considered marital property? Does the other spouse have rights to it during the divorce process?
Answer:
Allow me to preface my answer to your question with the disclaimer that I am not licensed to practice law in the state of South Carolina. In general, all property (marital and separate) is divided at the time of the Legal Separation, and the other spouse would have no right to it. However states vary on their law. I suggest you consult an attorney to know for sure.
