Will I get half of the house if I file for divorce even if it is under my husband’s name?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Barbara Peyton (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Peyton & Associates
If the house was paid for with income earned during marriage, it is community property no matter whose name the house is in. You are entitled to one-half its net value. I would suggest you talk to an attorney even if you can't afford one. There are statutes which provide that the other side can pay some or all of your attorney fees in order to make sure both sides are fairly protected.

My question is: If I file for divorce, can my husband fight for the UTMA accounts that I have worked so hard to build for our son's future?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Charles D. Scott (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at The Law Offices of Charles D. Scott PLLC
If you have not filed for divorce yet, I would go ahead and transfer the UTMA savings accounts into your sons name, he is 21 years old, no longer a minor under the law, and can handle his own money. It is your sons money anyway and there are other savings and investment vehicles that can "earn money" other than a UTMA account.  If you keep the money it can become an issue in a divorce, I had a case where the husband actually drained all the money out of a UTMA account and used it to pay for his own lawyer. The parties fought over everything including who would control the childrens accounts.  The child will not be a party to the divorce since he is over 18 years old.

How long will an uncontested divorce take and do we need to go to court?

Answered by attorney Jessica M Cotter (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at The Law Firm of Jessica M. Cotter, P.L.L.C.
It is always best for you to at least consult with an attorney in your area who is experienced in family law, to be certain that all of the procedures are properly followed. With that being said, In Arizona there is a self service center at most, if not all, county superior court facilities. Maricopa County also provides that service online, where you can download the forms and instructions to file and finalize your dissolution.
