Hey everyone, this is my first post here, and I’m looking for some advice about my divorce situation in Missouri. My ex and I were married for 3 years and have one child together. I was a stay-at-home mom during the marriage. We have a house (I’m on the title but not on the loan) and three cars. After separating, we had a notarized agreement for him to cover certain bills while I got back on my feet, but he stopped making payments. Now the house is facing foreclosure. I’ve offered him an agreement to take over the house, but I’m unsure if it’s feasible. What are my rights in this divorce regarding assets? I’d appreciate any insight!
It sounds like you have a solid grasp of your situation. In Missouri, you typically divide debts and assets acquired during the marriage evenly, regardless of whose name is on the title. If the house has no equity, you’ll need to focus on resolving what happens to it. If you can take over the mortgage, that might be your best bet.
You should definitely consult with your lawyer about this. They can guide you through the process and ensure your rights are protected. Given your situation, it sounds like a fair resolution is possible.
If your ex is not cooperating, you may need to file an emergency motion to have a judge step in. It’s frustrating, but sometimes that’s necessary to move things along.
I get it; this process can be so stressful. Keep detailed records of everything, especially any agreements made. That will help you in court if it comes to that.
It sounds like your ex is trying to play games. Document everything and focus on your child’s well-being. Judges often favor arrangements that are in the best interest of the child.

Thanks for the support! I’m trying to keep things as smooth as possible for our child.
