Az - Earnest Money


What is the name of your state? Arizona

I am married and recently signed a contract on a new build and gave them a check for the earnest deposit. Am I entititled to a full refund of the earnest deposit since my wife has not signed the contract and the funds came from a shared checking account?
FYI - Arizona is a community property state

Thanks in AdvanceWhat is the name of your state?

1. Why do you want a refund?
2. Was there a place for your wife to sign the contract?
3. What does the contract say about refund of the earnest money?
