Legal Question in Family Law in California

Divorce

I had owned my home for 4.5 years in the state of California before getting married. Once married, I added my wife on title.

I am now in the process of getting divorce after 8 years of marriage.

We do not have any kids together.

She has four children. My wife has two adult children (19 and 20) and two dependant children (14 and 16). The 19 year old moved out to live with her boyfriend and 20 year

just started studying to become an ultrasound tech.

Will the courts rule in my favor to keep my house?

Re: Divorce

This is actually a pretty good question. Why did you add your wife on title? If you didn't receive any consideration for the gift, you might have an argument that it should be returned to you. I've handled this type of case through trial and can help you plan a strategy. If you're interested in my assistance, call me.

Sincerely,

Phillip C. Lemmons

Really the only answer is maybe. You consult with an attorney in person to determine your potential property rights in the house.
