Montana Supreme Court Awards Husband $955,000 Home Despite Wife's Name on Title

Times of India - India · india

The Montana Supreme Court has upheld a lower court's decision awarding a $955,000 home to a husband, even though the property title was in his wife's name. The couple purchased the home before marrying in 2023, with the husband contributing nearly the entire amount for purchase costs and improvements. The court ruled that financial contributions and circumstances surrounding the purchase justified awarding him the home, looking beyond just the deed. This case highlights that divorce courts consider more than just title ownership when dividing assets.
