Legal Question in Family Law in California
My husband received profit sharing money from his company. He bought stock with this money. We lived together for 19 years and were married for the last 8. He bought the stock before we were married and we withdrew from it often. We took money out to buy my car and to pay our taxes and to pay for the labor and construction of our house in Mexico. The checks were always issued to him but were cashed in our joint checking account. Am I entitled to any of this remaining money in my divorce? He also says I get nothing for the house in Mexico because he used his money to build it but I was the one paying all the bills for our apt. here in California. He says he gets the Mexico house and I get the apt( that we rent ) My name is on the lease for the Mexico house too. (We own the house but lease the land its on) Am I entitled to 1/2 the house? Thank you for your help

You are not entitled to anything that was left in the stock account. It seems you are saying the house in Mexico was entirely built with money from this account. If so, you have a pretty complicated situation with a house that would be entirely his separate property built on land that you lease with joint income. You aren't going to get a free answer on that on. It will require reviewing the relevant documents and probably doing some significant research.
