Dear LawGuru Friend,

Face the facts! Anything either of you acquire during the existence

of the marriage is owned fifty-fifty, no matter even if it is placed in

someone else's name. Your suggestion is not the way to do about

getting your own home to live in! I suggest you e-mail me your name

and phone number, and I will get back with you to discuss this matter

with you further at no charge. Why no charge? Well, I am now at least

temporarily retired from the practice of law, and I consider my ability to

help others with their legal problems as a gift from God, as well as a

calling--not just a job.

Looking forward to hearing back from you, I am

Sincerely,
