Legal Question in Family Law in California

assets in separate property

my husband purchased property while we were married for which I signed a quit claim with the understanding I would be added later. Since the purchase I have closed out my retirement accounts to pay the mortgage, took out a loan to pay the mortgage, and a Home Depot Credit Card in my name to pay for repairs and refurbishment. Can i claim these amounts as assests against the separate proprty? And are these considered common debts? Also, his credit cards in his name only, used for his mistresses, etc. Ami going to have to pay half?

Re: assets in separate property

You have more problems than you want to deal with over the internet. You need an attorney. Debts incurrec during the marriage are presumed to be community, there are exceptions to the general rule. The house could be a problem. You may be able to get reimbursement to you pension plan for improvements on the house. It all depends on what additional evidence you have and what he has. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
