Legal Question in Family Law in California
Is half of the check mine?
Before my husband and I were legally seperated--my husband was fired from his job.That was is December, 2001. He just received a ''Termanation'' check for 4,400 dollars. Is 1/2 of that check legally mine? How do I go about getting my half,because he surely is not going to hand over half of it to me!! I found it while putting socks away in his top dresser drawer and made a copy of it then put it back since its not made out to both of us, Should I present it to a court?

Re: Is half of the check mine?
Yes you should present it to court. Since he was fired before you separated, at least part of the check would be community property. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
