Recently, I went through a divorce. I have been living in my home for more than 5 years. My ex-husband and I purchased the house more than five years ago. Not long after the purchase of our home, I paid the mortgage off with money I was awarded through a medical malpractice claim. In the recent months, I have learned the deed for the house and the home loan that I paid off was in my ex-husband's sister's name. I was never aware of this and never knew to have the deed transferred over. I guess I just trusted my husband. I am still living in the house and maintaining the utilities and upkeep. My husband stated he did not have any interest in the house during out divorce. My ex-husband's sister has filed a lawsuit against me because I am forcibly in her house without rent. The only major proof I have of ownership is the check I wrote to pay the loan off and the utilities I am/have paid. I have hired a lawyer, but I was curious if you can give me some information on my rights and the different possible outcomes of my case.
Thanks
