Answers for "equilty in my home"  (1) (You must be logged in to answer)

as long as you had a legal separation before you moved, and didn't just take off - as NC is a fault divorce state and he could cite abandonment and your portion of equity would be substantially lower than what you could get.

 

there are a lot of factors that go into calculating what percentage you are entitled to since NC is an eqitable distribution state - but you are entitled to something.
