Indiana Divorce. During my marriage, my husband and I purchased 61.5 acres. The acreage was in 2 different tracts with 2 different addresses. We built our home on 41.5 acres. We decided to keep 20 acres reserved for our son. Our divorce decree states that my ex keeps the property at 7082 N St Rd 39. This is the tract our home was built on. The 20 acres had a separate address. We both failed, by simple mistake, to include the 20 acres in our divorce negotiations. Do I still have an interest in this property? He has sold the property and does not feel he has to give me half of the profit. Also, The 20 acres has been broken down into 2 tracts: 16.1 acres and 3.9 acres. I signed closing papers for the 161.1 acres; however, the 3.9 acres was sold without my knowledge. Do I have grounds for forgery claims?
Answer
What does your divorce lawyer say? He/she has read the decree and remembers what happened, and this is the best resource.
If you were not represented in your divorce, you need to hire someone to straighten out this mess. No real estate could have been sold, if in your name, without your signature. Your lawyer can look at the deed and other transfer documents and help you.
