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

default-avatar
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.

If you requested a TRO, you should have gotten a court date. If you did not request a TRO, you can request a temporary orders hearing and the court coordinator will provide a date for the hearing. If you're asking about a final trial date, again, you woule work with the court coorinator to get a final trial date. Each county and court is different, so you must work with the court coordinator for the court where your case is assigned to get a schedule for your case.

What does court require to prove child is not the husband's child?

Answered by attorney Mark T. Peters (Unclaimed Profile)

The court will require a DNA test of the child and the putative father. You will have to ask for a court order for the testing to be done. The wife will not be able to refuse that. If you want to make sure that you don't pay child support, ask the court to hold off on a final decree until the baby is born and the DNA tests are performed. I suppose it is possible that the court could grant the divorce and keep jurisdiction over the case until the child is born.
