Can you buy a property before the final divorce decree has been granted?

Yes you can purchase property prior to your divorce, however, and this is where it gets tricky, your spouse if they have not been advised of this property can make a claim to it, unless you have a legal separation agreement and it has language that from the inception of the agreement you and the spouse shall not stake claim to any property from a specified date etc. Advice, wait for the divorce to be final before you make any large purchases as this can complicate your case.

Is it true if a man divorces his wife then the wife gets half of what he owns?

The answer depends on the divorce laws in the jurisdiction where the parties reside.All property that is acquired during the marriage, except certain types of assets such as inherited property, is usually considered marital property regardless of which spouse owns the property or how the property is titled. Marital property is divided according to state divorce laws in the United States.In community property states the property is divided equally. In separate property states the property is divided according to the equitable distribution method- fairly but not necessarily equally.You meed to consult with an attorney who specializes in divorce in your jurisdiction who can review your situation and explain your rights and options.
