real property
spouse seperated from me in 1999. We were 90 days delinquent in paying the mortgage at the time. she wanted to remove her name from the house. After much pressure from her, I gave in and the house was given as a gift to me. The quit claim deed was recorded in 1999. The name in the title is my name, and as married but a seperate property. She has filed a divorce claiming part of the house after 6 years of the contract.

Re: real property
Your wife may indeed still have a community property interest in the home. The burden is on you to show that there was no undue influence.
This is a complex area of the law and you should seek assistance from an attorney.
