Question:

My soon-to-be-ex-wife wants me to temporarily move out of the marital home during our divorce until she finds an apartment that she would then move into and I would be allowed to move back home.

Is this a problem for me if I get her to sign something stating that this is only temporary until she is ready to move? I don't a possible move to come off as abandonment.

Especially in a down economy, divorcing couples may not be in a financial situation where one party can afford to keep the residence.

In that case, the parties can agree to list the marital home for sale and include provisions in their property settlement agreement to provide for selecting a realtor, what repairs must be done prior to listing the home for sale, what should be fixed after the home is on the market, how to divide such costs, and what to do in situations where the parties do not agree on an expense.

The parties can also involve the court in these decisions.

Question:

My wife and I are getting a divorce and she is requesting I pay 35% of my net income as child support for our four children.

She plans on using that child support money to buy a new house after our divorce is finalized. I don't think my child support payments should be that high, particularly if she is going to use it for her own interests.

Is there an option where we both pay a reasonable amount into a trust of some type that can only be used for supporting our kids? If not, can I obtain part ownership of any home she buys using child support I have paid her?

Question:

I was awarded the marital home and the associated mortgage payment obligation per our divorce decree.

I have since paid off the house and would like to get her name off the title. How do I do this?
