1 Answer from Attorneys
If you're the father, you have the right to ask the Court to give you custody of the children. If your wife objects to this, you're looking at an expensive court fight ($15,000.00 or more).
You have the right to occupy the house until a Judge tells you otherwise.
When you divorce, you divide your community property. Property inquired by gift or inheritance are not community property.
The minimum time for a divorce, from start to finish, is 60 days (by law). But you should plan on finalizing it in about seven months.
