In the event of a divorce, will a spouse be entitled to cash and bonds that was inherited and also the sale of the house from a parent?

If the accounts were in your name alone, never put into a joint account, the Judge will probably say it is individual property.

House is my husband’s name and been married for 27 yrs can I still get part of the value of the house from him?

Answered by attorney John E. Kirchner (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at John E. Kirchner
In Colorado the name on a deed to real estate does not control what happens in a divorce unless he owned the house before you were married. At the very least, the increase in value of the property during the marriage is marital property; in 27 years that is probably a substantial increase, but the existence of loans secured by the property will affect the real value subject to division in divorce. There are no simple, fixed rules for dividing marital property but from the minimal information you provided you should be able to expect some monetary compensation for your interest in the house.

Here are the factors Wisconsin Judges must consider when deciding to award a spouse maintenance/alimony: 767.56 Maintenance. Upon a judgment of annulment, divorce, or legal separation, or in rendering a judgment in an action under s. 767.001 (1) (g) or (j) , the court may grant an order requiring maintenance payments to either party for a limited or indefinite length of time after considering: 767.56(1) (1) The length of the marriage. 767.56(2) (2) The age and physical and emotional health of the parties. 767.56(3) (3) The division of property made under s. 767.61 . 767.56(4) (4) The educational level of each party at the time of marriage and at the time the action is commenced. 767.56(5) (5) The earning capacity of the party seeking maintenance, including educational background, training, employment skills, work experience, length of absence from the job market, custodial responsibilities for children and the time and expense necessary to acquire sufficient education or training to enable the party to find appropriate employment. 767.56(6) (6) The feasibility that the party seeking maintenance can become self-supporting at a standard of living reasonably comparable to that enjoyed during the marriage, and, if so, the length of time necessary to achieve this goal. 767.56(7) (7) The tax consequences to each party. 767.56(8) (8) Any mutual agreement made by the parties before or during the marriage, according to the terms of which one party has made financial or service contributions to the other with the expectation of reciprocation or other compensation in the future, if the repayment has not been made, or any mutual agreement made by the parties before or during the marriage concerning any arrangement for the financial support of the parties. 767.56(9) (9) The contribution by one party to the education, training or increased earning power of the other. 767.56(10) (10) Such other factors as the court may in each individual case determine to be relevant.
