Legal Question in Family Law in Minnesota
Lease with Option to buy and divorce
My husband and I signed a Lease
with an option to buy. We are
divorcing. He cheated on me and is
emotionally abusive. I requested the
landlord remove my name from the
lease, and he refused. My husband is
living in the property, making
payments, and planning on following
through with the lease and option to
purchase, how do I get my name off
this lease? Can it be done during
divorce procedures. We are filling a
summary dissolution of divorce.

Re: Lease with Option to buy and divorce
The landlord has a contract. If you signed that contract, there is nothing that a court in a divorce can do to change that fact since the landlord is not a party to your divorce. Unless the landlord is willing to allow your spouse to take over the contract alone, you would remain obligated on that debt in the event of default.
