Q. What steps for confronting cheating husband safely and legal protection?

April 7, 2025

A: I’m really sorry you’re facing this difficult situation. Since you’re concerned about your physical safety, it’s important to prioritize that above all else. If you decide to confront your husband, try not to do it alone—choose a public place, have a trusted person nearby, or even consider addressing it over the phone or in writing. Trust your instincts, and don’t feel pressured to have the conversation if it doesn’t feel safe.

Before saying anything, quietly document any evidence you’ve gathered and store it securely. Also, make copies of important documents like financial records and IDs, and keep them somewhere safe. Speaking with a family law attorney early on can give you a clear understanding of your rights, especially if the infidelity may impact issues like alimony or division of assets in your state.

If you’re ever in immediate danger, call 911. You can also explore getting a protective order if needed. Many domestic violence resources offer safety planning, even if no violence has occurred yet. It may also help to have a packed bag ready and a plan for where to go if you need to leave suddenly.

Lastly, please take care of yourself emotionally. A therapist or counselor can be a huge support, and it’s good to know you have your family by your side. ... Read More

Q. Am I entitled to half the proceeds from a house bought during marriage if not on the deed?

March 18, 2025

A: Are You Entitled to Half the Proceeds? Yes, generally—If the home was purchased during the marriage with marital funds, it is a marital asset, and you likely have a claim to half of the equity. However, if your husband purchased the house with non-marital funds (such as an inheritance) and can prove it, the court may determine that some or all of the property is non-marital.

Q. Is my parents' house a marital asset in my divorce?

February 27, 2025

A: In divorce proceedings, courts generally presume that assets acquired during the marriage are marital unless proven otherwise. Your spouse could argue that your name on the deed represents an ownership interest and that any appreciation in value during the marriage should be divided. However, a paper trail showing that this was never "your" property would be good to establish that this property is not a marital asset. This is strengthened by the fact you never contributed or lived at the property.
