Legal Advice Please?

My husband and I are divorcing. I currently own 2 horses. Both horses are in MY name only. Is that enough to keep him from taking them or is there something else I need to do? Both were aquired after we got married, but I paid for them - not him. What, if anything, can I do?Legal Advice Please?
You better be prepared to show that you actually paid for them.....a receipt made out to YOU, or a cancelled cheque on your bank account. Remember that whether or not you ';own'; them, they were acquired during the course of the marriage and may well be considered community property. The best advice is to get a GOOD lawyer, unless of course your husband is kind enough to let you have them without contesting your ownership.Legal Advice Please?
When your married everything is fair game even the stuff you had before the marriage. Maybe you and him can come to an agreement if there is something he wants you can let him have it if he agrees to let you keep the horses make sure you make the agreement threw you lawyers thou.
I have some very good experience in this matter. Of course every state is different and situation vary BUT. If either one of you purchased, saved or came into anything of value then the other person in the relationship is entitled to half. It doesn't matter who's name is listed as the owner. 50/50 in most states. Bottom line! See a lawyer. Good Luck
I agree with Mike, they were after marriage. All you can do is have your lawyer negotiate for them. I had to do that for a lot of things. Sorry.





I did find this page that talks about animals in divorce cases. Maybe theres something that might help or you can start working on to give you leverage. http://www.divorcesource.com/research/dl/pets/99jun113.shtml
unfortunately when you got married and decided to divorce everything will be halfed.


sorry.. maybe you can try talking to your husband and tell him that you like to keep the horses and maybe you two can figure out how the situation be fair enough.
Sorry, animals are considered 'property'. What is bought during a marriage is considered 'joint property'. I would try working something out with him. Good luck!! I know my animals are my children and would fight like crazy to keep them.
Horse's are a lot to take care of not only physically but financially. Who pays for the horse food and who takes care of them at feeding time??. Who pays for the vet bills?





After you answer these questions you found your answer.
any thing u or the other had before and during the marriage is joint prop..sell to a family member for a 1$ and then things are settled buy it back for a 1$
If you purchased the horses after you got married, they are marital property.
If they are in your name only, they are yours. It will depend on the laws in your state though. Are these horses or houses?
Not much they are marital property.
They are shared. Sorry hun
