I am in contract to buy a house in Florida. It will be my primary residence and the only property I own.
I am also in the process of divorcing my husband who lives in Ohio. The divorce was filed in Florida. I do not know my husband's current address and he is not participated in any of the divorce proceeding. I have heard conflicting views on whether my husband needs to sign off on the mortgage and/or the deed.
My concern is for the safety of me and my daughter. we left Ohio because my husband is violent and abusive. I do not want him to have our new address.
I would appreciate if someone could tell me if my husband needs to participate in the closing, to what extent, and what statute covers this issue.
Answer
Process your dissolution of marriage before you take title.
