S10 Ep42: What If My Spouse Owns Property in Another State or Country?

#ChooseGoldman Attorney Akiva Goldman explains how Michigan courts handle out-of-state and international property during a divorce. Deliberately hiding foreign assets to keep them out of the divorce can lead to severe penalties when the marital estate is divided. • Out-of-state property is fully considered part of the marital estate and is subject to division. • A Michigan court can explicitly order the sale or division of property located in another state. • Enforcing a court order across state lines requires domesticating the judgment in that specific location. • Attempting to hide distant assets from the court is heavily penalized and can alter the division of the remaining estate. • Consulting with a specialized lawyer is crucial to understanding your rights and duties regarding out-of-state property. 📞 (248) 590-6600 Call/Text Download Divorce & Custody Survival Guide.
