Legal Question in Family Law in California
divorce
Less than 4 years ago my husband
was given $12,000 from his parents
right after we were married, which
was then put into our joint account
and then used as a down payment
on the house within a few weeks.
Does he get that money back when
we divorce and either sell the house
or if he buys me out or is it now
community property and split
evenly?

Re: divorce
Probably he has a right to reimbursement of the $12,000. However, more facts are need to give a good answer and the only right answer will be given by the judge. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
