Supreme Court Affirms Marital Property Judgment
The GA Supreme Court, in the recent case of Gonzales v. Gonzales, followed longstanding GA law and affirmed a lower court contempt judgment finding that property excluded from a divorce judgment remained jointly titled in the former spouses’ names. “The rule of law … is clear [that] … a divorce decree must specifically describe and dispose of property in which both parties have an interest or the decree will not divest either party of their interest in the property.”
The moral of this story is–always make sure that you fully disclose ALL property interests to your attorney, so that he can make sure that the property is covered by the divorce decree.
