I live in California and am getting a divorce. We are trying to put together a settlement. I put around $100k of my money into his sole and separate property. Am I entitled to have this returned to me?
thank you.

Yes, assuming the circumstances surrounding this contribution will not be interpreted by the court as a gift. You also have the burden to trace the funds to demonstrate that the money came from your separate resources.

Consult with an attorney, otherwise you will not know whether the proper settlement has been reached.
