Legal Question in Family Law in California

Reply: Divorce and child custody

There may be substantial community property assets even though nothing is in your name!

For a specific opinion regarding your individual circumstances, I suggest that you consult with an experienced family law lawyer. Experience is not expensive, it's priceless!

Re: Divorce and child custody

It doesn't matter who filed first - there is generally no advantage.

It also probably doesn't matter whose name the property is in, it is probably all community property if it was purchased during the marriage.

I strongly recommend that you retain an attorney to assist you.

It generally makes little difference which party files first. You should immediately locate an attorney that will take your case without an up front cash payment. You can get a court order for your husband to pay your attorney fees.
