Am I entitled to part of my home in a divorce?

Answered by attorney Anne Barbara Howard (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Anne B. Howard, A Professional Law Corporation
You have a right to half of what was acquired during the marriage with exceptions for separate property. If your husband bought the home in his name alone prior to marriage, it is his separate property. However, the community should be reimbursed for principal paydown and a percentage of any appreciation. If the community paid for the improvement, that should be reimbursed also. It doesn't matter that you had no children together. See an attorney. The refinance issue adds more complexity to the amount the community can be reimbursed.

Property owned prior to a marriage, to which no contribution was made, and no change in the names on the property occurred during the marriage should be classified as separate property, not subject to division in a dissolution. You should consult with an experienced family law attorney to discuss your rights in community property, and how to verify that property is separate property.
