Legal Question in Family Law in California

Re: What can I legally do?

have you formally filed for divorce yet?

if you and your husband were living together with no intention to separate during the time he was working at this company, you would have a one half community property interest in this check. keep a copy of the check as evidence of the funds he received and this will be included in your community property interests once you file for dissolution.

Re: What can I legally do?

You will need to establish a foundation for admission of the check as well as the purpose of the check. It is probable that you cannot do that with your own testimony, as you probably have no personal knowledge of the reason for the check other than what someone else has told you and therefore this may be inadmissable hearsay. Probably best to get an attorney, unless your husband will stipulate to its division. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
