  • What Happens if Husband And Wife Pay Money to Purchase Home, Do They Each Get the Money Back Upon Divorce?
  • Typically a married couple will use the money they had saved before they got married to pay the down payment for their house. The Question is what happens when they get divorced? Do they each get their money back and then divide the proceeds? The answer is NO unless you can prove special circumstances. Florida law provides that the money husband and wife used to contribute towards the down payment is a gift to each other. The presumption of a gift to one another can be rebutted if you have a pre- nuptial or post-nuptial agreement that says each gets their down payment back upon divorce. If you can prove the special circumstances to reject the presumption of gift, then upon divorce each get their money back and then divide the proceeds.
