Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona

If my husband buys a business in California, and I live in Arizona, am I entitled to half? He lives in California right now, but their is no legal separation or divorce, he still uses my address to file taxes. So, can I ask for half?

If you file in Arizona, all property acquired during the marriage, no matter where located, will be considered community property. Thus, if the business he buys has value, that value must be divided.

We can certainly help you consider and then pursue your options.
