Legal Question in Family Law in Washington
Divorce in Washington State
How long should you be married before you are entitled to a half interest in property that is the husband's separate estate (family home)? My husband owned the home prior to our marriage and I do not own my home (I sold it when we married). We have been married three years in November 2007. Please help. I need to know what to expect as far as equitable distribution and how long do I have to be married to receive anything. I sold my home (that I owned prior to our marriage) to his mother, at a loss, to pay her back for him....though I know that what my loss for ''being nice'' and showing my intent to my husband. However, our marriage has lots of problems and problems with a stepchild and ex-wife. I have a son with my husband, but this home is not a good environment and is very dysfunctional as far as differences in parenting the stepchild.

Title doesn't control necessarily, and all property belonging to the parties, whether separate or community, is before the court for a just and equitable distribution.
