  • advice on buying a house after separation

    After separation I had a baby; my ex is not the biological father. We are still in discussions for the divorce, and no settlement agreement exists at this point. A Case conference is scheduled for this month.
    I would like to know if, before the divorce and settlement are over, I can buy a house, and put it on my son's name. Can my ex make a claim on this property?

    Thank you for your reply. Since this whole process of separation is lenghty, I was trying to find a way to save some money, instead of paying thousands in rent. It looks that to avoid any hussle, I'm better off renting

      You can go buy a house and put in your name and there would be no claim on it by your ex, as long as it's been clearly agreed that the separation date was prior to the acquistion of the house.

      What will probably be at issue is where you got the down payment money as that asset will probably have to be included in your net family property, since you presumably had it at separation date.

        Since I've started this thread I've got my divorce; I do not have a signed separation agreement - we are still in the process of deviding assets. In Court I've asked the Judge if now, after obtaining the divorce I can go ahead an buy a house. Her reply was "yes" because you are now divorced not only separated.
