[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have given or plan to give a down payment to your child(ren) who are already married, how do you protect your gift from being taken by the spouse if they get divorced in the future? The house becomes a community property from my understanding.

Do you structure the gift as an interest-free loan that is due upon divorce?
Do you make them sign a post-nup?

We are located in DC, if that makes a difference regarding laws. [/quote]

You’re a spiteful cheapskate loser op[/quote]

All the naysayers like this one are women mooching off their husbands and hate the idea of the possibility of one of their own ever getting anything less.

OP, Talk to a lawyer.  This is legal advice and I've noticed that while this forum is infested with lawyers, they don't like to give out free advise.  They do bombard the forum with questions for free advice on everything else!  Go figure.. [/quote]

I’m the divorce lawyer who posted several times in this thread. I did give advice. Go figure. [/quote]
