A transfer of property to avoid potential crediors can be considered fraudulent and set aside.

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

The facts you set forth do not make sense. Your husband would not be sued in Chicago with jurisdiction in Florida. That is a contradictory statement.

I strongly suggest that you meet with a local attorney who can review the actual facts and advise you and your husband of your legal rights and obligations.

Yes, the Court would look into whether it was a fraudulent conveyance. This is not a wise way to proceed. Consult with an attorney.
