If my dissolution will be final and my husband is supposed to purchase the home from me but he has not done this, since it is in my name only can I take it back?
I purchased our home before we were married but we both renovated it and moved in together. The deed, loan, property taxes are in my name only. It has been 2 months since we have seperated and he has made no attempt to get a loan to purchase the home from me and pay me some of the equity from it. He has given me the house payments since he has been there alone and it is auto withdrawn from my checking. After the dissolution is final and the home is still in my name only can I take my home back since he obviously has no intention of purchasing it? Do I owe him money since he helped renovate?

Do you have an attorney here because it is time to get one asap. If the divorce is not final I would take steps NOW to rectify the situation. If you have entered in to a marital agreement and the court has so ordered it you can not act on your own here and you need to figure this out asap becuse you will be left holding the bag. Get help. Good luck.
