Re: property division

Dear Inquirer:

Nothing herein shall create an attorney-client relationship, unless a written retainer agreement is executed by the attorney and client. This communication contains general information only. Nothing herein shall constitute an attorney-client communication nor legal advice. There likely are deadlines and time-limits associated with your case; you should contact an attorney of your choice for legal advice specific to your personal situation, at once.

If you haven't already done so, please visit my

The site contains quite a bit of general information about California Family Law, Tenants' Rights, and Juvenile Dependencies, as well as information about me (education, experience, et cetera) and my office (location, hours, fees, policies).

NOW, IN RESPONSE TO YOUR INQUIRY --

The facts that you have provided are not clear enough and/or complete enough to provide a definitive answer to you inquiry. I question whether a separate civil action is appropriate. I believe the entire matter would be best litigated (or settled) in family court. Contact an experienced Family Law attorney in the county where your dissoultion is filed for specific advice and possible representation on your behalf.

Thanks for sharing your interesting inquiry with us on LawGuru, and good luck with your case.

Re: property division

You would be well served obtaining an attorney to represent you in this action. You are not going to small claims court are you? Ofcourse the judgment would come from his separate property. Call me directly at (619) 222-3504.

Re: property division

If you obtain a judgment you can then attach his share of the community property. The dissolution process may be just a little tricky. If I were handling the case I would probably ask the court to consolidate your personal injury action with your dissolution action so that it makes a real neat package and nothing slips through the cracks. It would be in the court's discretion whether they would allow the consolidation. It would be a fairly complex process and you should have an attorney. You have a lot at stake here and the security of having someone who knows how to handle the case will be well worth the costs. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
