Legal Question in Family Law in California
We have agreed on almost everything, except the house. He wants me to sign the house over to him before the divorce is final, when house is sold will this keep me from the proceeds of the sale?

Yes, unless you have a contract or lien in place.

A carefully crafted marital settlement agreement delineating this arrangement is necessary. The court must reserve jurisdiction to assist you on collecting your share of the proceeds. Please meet with an experienced family law attorney to explore your legal options.
