real estate and divorce as non resident
Legally ,half the house would be yours but it would be a very painful, costly and time consuming issue. Better don't do it!!!
If there are children involved, it becomes more complicated.
Go and ask your lawyer about a prenup, maybe there is solution that way.

If you want to loose your home, do it.
If you are smart then you register a company that are the "owner" of the house. So WHEN she find a dominican chulo, and they plans to kick you out, they cant because you own ZERO.
My 2pesos worth.

It is cheaper in the long run, to just find any Dominican, give her all your money, and leave the DR!!!
I think you should have gotten the "Vibe" DR1ers have on marrying a Dominicano!
There are "Eight Million Stories" in the DR, "You Can Be Yet Another"!!!
There are about 1,000 to 1 bad outcomes for every good one, involving foreigners who marry Dominicanos, both male, and female!
I know that YOU are going to be the "Exception" that proves the rule!!!
"NOT"!!!!!
Better to hate us for our harshness NOW, than to Hate Yourself later for not taking it!!
"REALLY"!!!!

Then you'll have a yearly 1% value tax, but may be worth it.
But she can still take your mattress.
I guess technically I am half owner of our house in D.R. but I went into the purchase knowing full well that the reality is that it is my wife's house. I harbor no illusions that I have any say on affairs affecting the house. Our house in the U.S. on the other hand is 100% mine by U.S. prenup. Better make it 3000.
All he wants to do is protect his ass tits . Personlay one of the best parts about the RD for me is the how cheep you can rent a nice place.
Rent.
Apart from his wife, there will be many other possibilities to loose money On a property
Put the property into a close relative's name then "rent" it from them.
Even without getting married, buying in the DR isn't much better than renting.

You can actually protect your home, if you buy the Home, and Rent the "Wife"!
Best Idea I can come up with!

If I could lose my home, AND my wife I'd do it!
Shame On You Peter!
"Put the house in a "Close Relatives" name"??????
I hope you don't mean any of your wife's "Close family"???????

The house will be half yours and half your wife's. If you don't come to an agreement after a divorce, either one can go to court to obtain an order to sell the house in public auction and split the proceeds.
Ask Doctor Guzman.
He can explain, "EVERYTHING" about legal issues in the DR!
Just "click" on his web site in Post #16 above.

Paul, we own a home with 15 tareas on the south coast, and 68 tareas of land in Ocoa. My husband is Dominican [and naturalized American] and I'm American [not a DR resident]. By DR law, both properties belong to both of us because we bought them after we were married.
If you're newlywed or not certain about your marriage, go the 'company' purchasing the house.
