- Q. Is my future ex husband responsible for my medical bills? Considering not legally divorce yet.
- A: If I am understanding your question correctly, you are filing a response to your spouse’s petition. If your spouse has misstated information in his petition, be sure to address the misstatements in your response. There is no need to make corrections on the face of his petition as it has already been filed with the court.
- Q. Divorce - paid my father's mortgage during marriage
- A: California is a community property state. Upon divorce, each spouse is entitled to half of all property acquired during marriage. This applies to income earned during marriage, as well as debts and obligations incurred. Various factors may still exist that may protect your rights to the reimbursed money contingent upon your specific situation. I recommend that you seek the advice of an attorney to assure that your rights are protected.
- Q. Am I elegible to receive benefits from my ex-husband which we were married for 15 years. We have four children grown up
- A: California is a community property state. All property acquired during marriage is considered part of the community estate and must be equitably divided at divorce. This applies to retirement assets acquired during marriage. The amount you are eligible to receive depends on numerous factors such as the amount, the number of years earned during marriage, the number of years earned in totality, and the source. If possible, I recommend that you seek the advice of an attorney to assure that your rights are protected and that there is an equitable division of your assets.
