Can I revise the divorce to where he only gets to claim my child when he is up to date on support?

It doesn't matter what you agree to. It matters what the court order says. If he is behind in child support, then you don't have to sign the waiver because the IRS rules are clear - a parent has to be current at the end of the year to be able to take the exemption.

How long do you have to be married to someone to obtain their house that’s only in their name?

Divorce lawyer at The Montes Law Firm
If the house is in the boyfriend's name and he had it before the marriage, it is considered separate property. She may be able to kick him out for a short period of time, but in the end the house will return back to the owner. Upon divorce she may have a claim for reimbursement, but that is not likely to happen if she is only married to the guy a short period of time. She will not be able to marry him, kick him out and then keep his house.

How do I go about the post nuptial my husband is asking for and make sure we get 50/50?

What you can reasonably bargain for depends on a myriad of issues. You do not have to agree to a post nuptial agreement at all. You have to address every asset separately to see what was earned during the marriage or paid for with marital funds (earnings during the marriage). Those things should certainly be construed as community property which, if you divorce, is not necessarily 50/50. It just has to be fair (equitable). The other question to ask is why is he wanting this now? Is he getting ready for a divorce? Please find a lawyer to help you with this. It's complicated and if you sign it without legal advice, you're stuck with it.
