If my to-be ex-husband were (gay) wants to keep the house and timeshare in his name and take sole financial responsibility and I just want my car sole responsibility. Can that be done with this agreement to have a judge remove my name off the property he is keeping and his name from my car?

So legally speaking, yes, you guys can arrange this. You live in what’s called an equitable distribution state. What equitable distribution means is that property obtained during the marriage will be split “equitably”—which doesn’t always mean equal, but “fairly” in the court’s eyes.
The court looks at everything on a case-by-case basis to determine how the property should be divided. The parties can come to their own agreement and present it to the court, but so long as it is fair, the court will consider it and approve it if that is the case.
So in other words, when it comes to debts, assets, accounts, etc., you guys can agree to terms on this as a part of your divorce.

I understand your situation. Are you currently going through a divorce process with your husband?
Yes.
Have you and your husband discussed these arrangements and come to an agreement on them?
Yes, we just haven’t figured out how to make them happen without getting an attorney or lawyer.
Is there anything else the Family Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they’ll be able to help with your property division.
No, it’s pretty straightforward on what we want. I want to have sole debt responsibility for my car, and he wants sole debt responsibility for the house, timeshare, and shower remodel debt. Any other personal debts we have in our sole names would just stay our own responsibility.
What state is this in?
Have you already filed for divorce?
Not yet. I’ve started the process online but haven’t filed yet since I’ve been trying to figure out this predicament.
Hello! Legal Eagle here. I’m reviewing your issue in detail. I only need about 2-5 minutes to read, review, and respond to each of your posts.
Have you both considered how to handle any outstanding debts or loans associated with the house and the car beyond just the ownership titles?
No, we don’t have any formal agreements yet.
Ok! I just need a little time to draft up a high-quality answer. I’ll be with you as soon as possible. It won’t be terribly long, ok?

So does that mean I still could file via the online simple option and not have to have an attorney/lawyer file?
