Re: Husband wants Watts Credits
First of all, an old and wise atty once told me "no body ever got Watts credits besides Mrs. Watts". It's true, it's a difficult reimbursement to get at court.
Secondly, the Wife's separate property investment is not relevant to Watts credits. She'll get her money back under F.C. 2640.
Lastly, there is not enough info to really respond. What is the reasonable rental value of the property? What are the expenses of keeping the property? How much support is being paid?
