Posting for a friend.
She has separated from her husband for over a year. He came to some financial arrangement and got her to sign a legal document to get her names off the mortgages they hold for 2 houses which are 80% paid off. All together I think they would sell on today's market for 1mil.
He talked in riddles and confused her. He took her names off the mortgages and gave her $200,000. She signed the document but has now realised she should have pushed for more.
They both have 50/50 custody of children of a thirteen year old and she currently is living in one property and paying him rent. Does my friend have a legal leg to stand on under Family Law to get more money through property settlement?
Any help is appreciated. She is scared to chew into the money she has and we all know lawyers are expensive so I just want to know if the fight would be worth it in the end before she signs the divorce papers.
