Who is entitled to the funds from our second property in a divorce?

Answered by attorney Alfred Edwin Fahlen (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Edwin Fahlen
Based strictly on your information the other attorney is wrong. Prior to marriage your wife does not have the benefit of the California Family Code. Therefore the money used for the purchase was your separate property. Unless you signed a statement that you are transmuting your separate property down payment to now be community property, the down payment remains your separate property. This is a matter of laws, cases and superlative legal representation. When you are dealing with fragile economic issues, competent legal representation should always be sought, as the subject matter of the litigation is so very important. One mistake here could cost you your separate property contribution.

In Georgia, it only takes one to go forward with the divorce. Georgia is a no-fault state and you do not have to agree to the counseling. If he won't enter into a settlement with you, proceed forward towards a final trial. If you have any questions on how to do this, I would recommend a consultation with a local divorce lawyer just to put you on the right track.
