Legal Question in Family Law in California

Community Property Settlement

I was married 15 1/2 years to a Pool contractor, whom is also a Police Detective . It has been 6 1/2 years and we don't have a property settlement yet. My husband is asking for the home that we purchased 12 years ago and all asets including the business we started 9 years ago. He wants to leave Myself and our three children with only $2,000. in child support and I have been a stay at home mother and helped run the Pool business for 13 years. Can you help me find past case history were the judge rules 50/50 of all community assets, or anything that would help my case.Thanks!

The fact that your case has dragged on for so long seems like you need professional help. You should seek the help of the local family law clinic for self help on how to resolve your property issues.

Please consult with an attorney before taking legal steps.

Good luck.
