My Spouse Says I Owe Money Based On Paying Less Of The Down Payment For Our House. How Will This Be Handled In Our Divorce In Queens?

August 21, 2015 by Marc Jacob

Without knowing more, it’s difficult to say whether or how an imbalance in the down payments on a home may affect you in a divorce.

If the home is to be sold, the court could decide that your spouse is entitled to a larger share of the profits, or if you’ve agreed to allow your spouse to keep the home, the buy-out amount may be lower for you.

On the other hand, if your marriage has a lot of assets, how much you contributed to a down payment may not be a significant factor.

When there are investments, retirement accounts, and other high-dollar instruments to address, there should be ample opportunity to negotiate a fair settlement for you.

Your best approach is to work with an experienced Queens divorce attorney, who can help make sure that your interests are protected and your spouse can’t bully you into accepting a bad deal.
