Property acquired during the course of the marriage with money earned during the marriage is marital property, regardless of how the title to the property is held. If the house you sold was your separate property and you purchased the lodge with that money and kept the lodge in your name only it would be separate property and not marital property. If, however, you have both names on the lodge property, it is if you gifted to him one half of the property. The matter then becomes involved and a thorough review of all documents and accounts must be made before legal advice may be offered.
Generally, people’s actions are not taken into consideration, but in unusual circumstances judges will lean over backwards to help the innocent party.
If you are living in the NYC metro area, please call to make an appointment to discuss the matter in greater length.
