If my husband wants a divorce and I have no money can I have him pay for my attorney?

Yes, There are statutes in California which will assist you in getting attorney fees from your husband if he has the income to pay and if you have a reasonable explanation as to why you can't afford to pay. I suggest you contact an attorney in your region for an initial consultation. These are usually free.

If I get a legal separation or a divorce now (before I obtain the money) will I avoid a 50/50 split of community property?

Answered by attorney Julie Anne Ringquist (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Julie A. Ringquist
In California, community property does not include those things given to you alone (not things left to both of you) by gift or bequest/inheritance, so long as you do NOT co-mingle those funds with community funds (in a community bank account or a bank account with community funds in it) or do anything else which would be evidence that you meant for the funds to become community in nature. Therefore, so long as you keep everything separate, it will be yours. It sounds as if you will need those funds to obtain your own residence and save toward retirement, so consider those things before promising it to your children. Additionally, you will want to make all of this legal sooner, rather than later, as it will only get more complicated as time goes on and as you acquire things with that money or earn interest on that money. Also, the longer you are married, the longer you must pay Spousal Support if you earn more money than your wife.

How long will alimony last?

Answered by attorney Anne Barbara Howard (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Anne B. Howard, A Professional Law Corporation
It should stop at half the length of the marriage. However, it will not stop automatically. If you have attorneys, have an agreement and are working on an MSA, then the end date should be in there. If you have no MSA, then the court should give a terminate date when the case goes to trial.
