Legal Question in Family Law in California

The property that your husband owned prior to marriage is his separate property. It doesn't matter who is the bread winner in the marriage. If, however, either person's income during the marriage is used to increase the equity in the property, either by paying for improvements (not expenses), or paying down debt (not interest), there is a right to reimbursement to the community, which is then split upon divorce.

The answer is that you probably have some interest. You need to review all of the facts with family law attorney in order to get a good answer. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
