After twenty years of paying into their mortgage, Nikki discovered that her husband had secretly transferred their home’s deed to his mother. The act shattered her trust and threatened her financial security, prompting her to seek legal advice and space to process the betrayal.
A lawyer informed her that the transfer could qualify as marital fraud since it occurred without her consent. While some suggested her husband may have acted from a sense of duty to his mother, the lack of transparency made his actions deeply hurtful and unjustifiable.
Now, Nikki faces the choice between rebuilding the relationship or moving on. Her focus remains on protecting her rights and emotional health—a reminder that honesty and shared decision-making are vital in any lasting partnership.
