 Your spouse might be liable for damages or debt to someone in a court proceeding unrelated to your relationship. Your spouse may also have made a deal with someone outside the family that concerns the family property. These people may have a legitimate claim against the family property. The problem is that even though their claim or entitlement may be restricted to property owned by your spouse in his or her name alone, your interest in that property may be lost if a third party gets there first.
-As we've discussed, both spouses have a presumptive interest in the family property, including property only by the other spouse as long as it qualifies as family property. A third party claim or entitlement can result in the loss of an asset or in the loss of value of property. By the time the family property are divided, without separation or restraining order, the assets might very well be in the hands of someone else and no longer be available for division.
