Re: community interest in seperate property

You question cannot be answered with the information you provided. If your husband works on the farm for a substantial period of time there may be a community property interest in the farm. The same applies to the business. Further if community property funds are being used to pay any of these debts then there may be a community property interest. You need to discuss this with an attorney to learn more about your interest if any in these properties.
