Hi,
I had to move out of state with my new husband due to his career. My ex husband took me to court for custody of our 15 yr old son. Long story short, the judge would not agree to me taking my son with me even though I had custody of him.
Now my ex husband is trying to sue me for his attorney fees on top of everything else the judge has already awarded him. I have been unemployed since our move but not for lack of trying. I have no income, no savings left, etc. My ex husband however makes $60k/yr and recently purchased land worth $40k which he paid for in cash with his recent inheritence.
It's the same judge hearing this lawsuit as the custody suit. I do not have an atty. representing me and cannot fight this. The way things have gone, I'm sure I will lose and then have to file bankruptcy. My question is... should I file a quit claim deed before filing bankruptcy? Would an out of state judgement effect my property in another state? Can they put a lien on my home?

Welcome JenniferR.

I think you're trying to protect the property in another state from being lost due to any judgment or bankruptcy filed in the previous state. An out-of-state judgment can affect property in another state if the court in the second state approves the judgment passed in the previous state. To know what happens when you quitclaim before bankruptcy, check out a previous discussion on this topic.

Thanks.
