Legal Question in Family Law in California
I have been married for 3 years. My husband would not make a will with me. He made his own and I had to make my own. In his he left his business that he had prior to our marriage 51% to his son. We are about to acquire another business to strengthen his existing business. Again, he is willing his son 51% and 49% to me. I feel that I should have the greater share in the event of his passing because that is something we are acquiring together. I have given him 100% of investment monies. Also I have put aside funds for my children. Is this legal. Am I protected. Also, the New business is based in Austin, Texas. We live in California. I am considering leaving the marriage primarily because of the hiding of funds within the business. I have no access to financials. I am concerned about my future, since I am 60 years old.
