Legal Question in Family Law in California
Undue Influence 1
Me and my wife both put Seperate money into--name removed--home we both bought together after we got married. She put in--name removed--larger amout of down payment than I did. Most of My seperate money was used to pay bills and other expenses. Due to me having--name removed--much better credit score we put the house under my name, Sole and Seperate property and she signed--name removed--quit claim. Now in the case of divorce does she get her money back and me get mine back? Do I get the entire amount? Does this fall under Undue Influence? Will my good credit be enough to go around the undue influence law? What about the case of Marriage of Lucas (1980)? Does this affect my case if we divorce? It seems were heading down that road after 1 yr of marriage. Please help

You have a lot going on here and this is a very complex area of family law. There are more current cases to evaluate than Lucas. You have Family Code Section 2640 issues on the reimbursement of separate property down payment.
For a specific opinion regarding your individual circumstances, I suggest that you consult with an experienced family law lawyer. Experience is not expensive, it's priceless!
