Make sure you talk to an attorney BEFORE buying anything if the D isn't final...especially in a community property state...because a lender WON'T let you buy it in your name only...they WILL require a quit claim deed from H because without that it can get sticky on the NEW home being community property because it was aquired DURING the marriage!
You don't want to find the perfect place only to have to let it go because things have heated up and H won't sign the quit claim deed...it is just better for you to be single if you are going to buy your own home...and vice versa...
And this is all assuming that you do get D'ed...I filed twice and got within days of being final...and I am still not D'ed...and at this point in time I don't think I will be...things are looking up after nearly 2 years of HELL....
