Legal Question in Family Law in California

Re: Property Division/Alimony

The rule is that if both of your names are on the title it is presumed to be community property. However, she will be entitled to be reinbursed for the value of the house at the time it was refinanced.

Each case is different therefore you should contact an experienced family law attorney.

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. Re-financing alone is not enough to transmute real property.

Spousal support is based upon "need" and "ability to pay." You be the judge.
