| I am trying to find out something for my son who is getting a divorce in New York. The question involves property. While they were engaged, his wife signed a contract on a condo. I paid most the $25,000 earnest money when her father refused to. They married. The deal closed on the condo after the marriage. Property is in her name. Property value increased over next three years. Does he have a right to a portion of the property value increase even though the contract was signed before they were married. About what portion? |
