The wife moves out, (separates), in October 2005, Jointly signs for a new house in December 2005, and files for dissolution January 2006. Nine months later she requests a appraisal of the new home that she never lived in or paid any payments on. The appraisal comes in 100k more than it was bought for. What $ amount should she be entitled to in Washington State?
I am being told that she is entitled to half of the equity derived from the latest appraisal. Am I getting snowed? If you think so, please give me some data to argue with.
I believe it should be the "cut-off date" which would be January 2006, not October 2006.
You are in a State I like to call wishy washy. No one is going to be able to answer that question. Here (WA) You are at the mercy of the judge and your [censored] lawyer. Your best bet will be to make her a deal out of court. If you have formal separation papers you can probably use that for a timeline if not make a deal.
Your judge can do whatever he/she feels and it will most likely slight the woman in this democratic state.
