My husband has a lawsuit filed against him in Oregon, and we live in Colorado. We have two homes together, some joint bank accounts, and autos. I also have a business in an S-Corp. Should I have him quit claim deed himself off the homes, and is my business protected if they go after his personal assets? Additionally, if we refinance a home in my name only, would it be seen as removing him quit claim? If we sell one of the homes, would we run into the same issues? Is it hard to get the lawsuit to Colorado to go after personal assets? And, would a divorce change anything?
