Many states have laws that control the transfer of what may be considered marital property during a divorce proceeding. A court can void a deed if it determines that any property was conveyed that should be included in the marital assets and subject to division between the parties. In Massachusetts, an automatic restraining order arises when a divorce is filed, preventing either party from transferring any assets.

You need to consult with your attorney or if you don't have one an attorney who specializes in divorce law in your state who can review the situation and explain your options. You should bring with you any evidence of the transfer. The court will rule whether the transfer was effective or will be voided.
