Legal Question in Family Law in California

If I've been married for four years but with my wife for 28 years and she has refused to put me on the deed of the house but I'm on the tax papers, will I still be entitled to 50% of the house if we divorce? She had the house when we got together. We have a trust in which, upon her death I get the house, if that makes a difference.

Much more information is needed. If you made substantial improvements to the property and took other steps that would create a interest before marriage, you could have a significant right to claim a significant interest in the property. Please meet with an experienced family law attorney to explore your options.
