Re: Divorce
Your community property interest in the house and other community property assets does not disappear with the passage of time. However, the value of your interest may change due to numerous factors, change in value, payments with separate property by the other spouse. As a general rule there should be a time limit for him to perform, that is refinance and buy you out of the home. If he does not perform within the given time then the house would be placed on the open market for sale. You should consult with your prior attorney or another attorney about your particular circumstances and possible solutions.
