Answer: You did not indicate which state you are located in, but in a community property state or an equitable distribution state such as New York, you would be entitled to approximately one-half the value of the house and your husband would not have a right to ask you to leave. If you purchased a house while you are still legally married, your husband will have an interest in such house. You should wait until you have entered into a legal separation or filed a summons and complaint for divorce before you purchase any additional property. I strongly suggest that you consider mediation to settle your separation and divorce, and if you are located in the New York City metropolitan area please call me add to 12-370-1660.
