    Son-in-law problems
    Daughter and significant other together (3) years. We purchased a home for my daughter, under her name. Just recently married and he already thinking of selling the house, moving elsewhere; also considering selling her vehicle. I am a bit concern with his overpowering and trying to convince her into doing things that she really does not want to.

    Maybe you should talk to them.

    Invite the husband to have lunch or something under the pretense of 'catching up' and then explain how she's your "little girl" and you're worried about her as any parent would be. Ask him where he plans to move and why - be nice about it though. He could have a legitimate reason for these plans.

    Also, speak to your daughter about your concerns. Perhaps she does want some of these things, but is too worried about your reaction to tell you herself. If she doesn't want to take part in his plans, stress that she doesn't have to if she doesn't want to. But, that it's her decision, and that you will support her and love her no matter what (even if you don't agree with what is happening).

    As I understand, you gave the house to your daughter.

    You didn't ask a question. This is a law forum, so if you had asked, chances are that the answer would be something to the effect that your daughter, assuming she is an adult and in full control of her mental faculties, can sell the house and car if she wants to.

    What is your question? Did you have a legal question or what?

    Is this a "significant other" or an actual legal husband?

    She married him. If she didn't add his name the deed (which she is free to do), then he can't sell the house. Or the car. If he talks her into selling either or both, that is a question for a non-legal forum like Relationships.

    (If he files for divorce, the question of how assets will be divided is a legal one that depends on where they live and how their respective lawyers duke it out.)

    It is usually wise for parents to stay out of such issues, unless she is asking for your help and has made it clear that she feels pressured.
