Re: Rights t to property in a divorce
Possibly.
But, you need to understand that NY is an "Equitable Property," "Common Law," and historically a "Title" state with respect to marital property interests.
Which means that a spouse's interest or share in property in NY, that is or may be deemed "marital property" is not necessarily or automatically deemed to be 50%.
Good luck,
