Is it true that I can't get the house if it's in my name but my husband helped me with the down payment and the loan?

Under Washington community property law, the contribution of separate property (i.e., pre-martial assets) or community monies or labor after marriage to the separate property residence of a spouse can create a "lien" on the separate property residence and a claim to reimbursement. It depends on the specific facts and circumstances of your case. I recommend that you consult with a specialist who practices in the county in which you reside.

Should I go to court and fight, or should I accept her offer?

Answered by attorney James Mitchell Tacy (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Mitch Tacy Family Law Attorney & Mediator
If you would like a free consultation, please give my office a call, and I would be happy to speak with you. I can not give out legal advice, without knowing who I am giving to, without risking a conflict of interest. Direct contact eliminates this issue. Here is some "Legal Information? (not advice) that may be helpful. 1) An important question is how did the two of you separate? Have you been leading totally separate financial lives for the last 10 years, except for the payments that you have been making? 2) One of the processes that happens in a divorce is that the parties have to exchange financial information. Her financial picture will effect the outcome. In a divorce, all marital property is divided. You really can?t take one piece of the division and assess fairness, without looking at the entire proposed settlement. 3) 95% of divorce cases end in settlement. Unless one of you is totally unreasonable, you should be able to reach a ?fair? resolution. 4) The important objective is to develop a settlement that is fair to BOTH of you. Reading your message, I?m not understanding the fairness of you giving her 73% of your monthly pension check. I would also want to understand her position on why 50/50 division of the pension is fair. 5) Neither of those questions can be fully answered without looking at your and her full financial picture(s) - i.e. what are your assets and debts; same for her; and what is her income. Also relevant, as stated above would be the ten years financial separation.

Can I wait 18 months for a no fault divorce?

Divorce lawyer at John E. Kirchner
You can only wait as long as your husband chooses not to file for divorce. Once he files, you will have to deal with the situation. But, there is nothing he can do to force you to file for the divorce at all. The problem for you, however, is that until someone files for divorce he can pretty much do what he pleases and there is little you can do about it.
