My hopefully soon to be ex and I bought a property to live in before we got married. I was approved for the mortgage but thought since we would be getting married soon, I would put her on the deed. That was when I found out that her credit was horrible. I had to pay a couple thousand dollars to pay off her bad debts to add her to the deed. The house was a fixer upper which I did all myself. I sold my home I owned prior to her and used the proceeds to refurbish the home. There is some land involved as well but not really suitable for building because of soils/wetlands, etc. My wife had an appraisal done and the appraiser put in the highest and best use was a subdivision, which made the value extremely high. My appraisal was a single family home and was more in line with what the current value is. Perhaps sometime down the line the home could be subdivided if public utilities were available, but they aren't now. How is a judge going to look at this? I got letters from the township, engineers, sewer authority, water authority, etc. saying that it can't be subdivided but her attorney is pressing the issue. If I were to be forced to sell it, somebody with money would probably pay what her appraised value is just to hang on to the property in the event it is ever developable. I live in the home and it is the last bit of stability that my children have in their lives right now. Any advice on how this may go? I've been in the process now for almost two years.
