My husband has filed for divorce. He quit claimed the house to me 4 years ago. Now I am told that it doesn't matter in California because we were married for more than 25 years. Is there case law to support that the house should NOT be a part of the divorce settlement in California as community property? I am desparate to find out this information with support documentation
hi guest!
welcome to forums!
as the property has been transferred to you by signing a quit claim deed, it will be considered as your sole and separate property. i don't think your husband will be able to claim any ownership of that property. however, if the mortgage payments have been made from the community funds, then there are chances that he would get a certain share of the property.
feel free to ask if you've further queries.
