Got questions?

We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

Is WV a joint property state?

West Virginia is an equitable distribution state, not a community property state. This means that all marital property is subject to a fair, though not necessarily equal, division. Some couples can work out property division through negotiations.

Can my wife take my house if I bought it before marriage?

Yes, if the property was acquired prior to marriage, the general ASSUMPTION (which can be challenged) is that it belongs to the individual who made the purchase.

What are my rights if my name is not on a deed but married in WV?

If the home was acquired during the marriage in a community property state, the home belongs to both spouses, whether their name is on the title or not. The spouse whose name is on the deed is considered the legal owner.

Who gets the house in a divorce in WV?

Under West Virginia law, the courts are required to divide marital property according to the principle of equitable distribution. Note that equitable does not necessarily mean equal. That is, the court is not required to simply divide all property in half, but rather to find a fair distribution.

What is the settlement for divorce in West Virginia?

West Virginia follows the equitable distribution rule, which means the court has to docHub a solution that is fair but not necessarily 50/50.

What is the difference between a settlement agreement and a separation agreement?

A settlement agreement differs from a separation agreement as it sets the terms for the divorce, not the separation. A settlement agreement should address all central issues of the divorce. This can include things like division of marital assets and debts, child custody, and child support, as well as spousal support.

What is a type of joint ownership of assets between married couples in which all assets and debts are owned equally?

Under community property, spouses own (and owe) everything equally, regardless of who earns or spends the income. Community property is also known as marital property.
