My name is not on the title, can I claim it in my divorce?

I%26#039;m divorcing my husband and last year we refinanced the house. Because of my bad credit, my name could not be on the loan papers, but I did sign I was responsible if he defaulted on the loan. First, is my name on the title/deed? Second, can I claim 1/2 ownership of the house in our divorce?

You need to talk with a lawyer. All states are different. If you live in a community property state, half the proceeds of the house will be yours. Be sure you don%26#039;t sign a Quit Claim Deed because then you would have no claim to the house. Don%26#039;t let him trick you! Go see a lawyer. And if you are divorcing, you need your own lawyer! Don%26#039;t use his lawyer because you will get screwed good because his lawyer will have his needs in mind and not yours.
