Hi,
I am owed an amount of money for home improvements I did for a married couple that apparently have a prenuptial agreement. As to the stipulations involved, I have no clue as to the exact terms.
My concern is, will it be difficult to collect in small claims as it was the husband that hired me to do the work? I dealt primarily with [i]him[/] regarding the scope of work. However, she was obviously [b]well[/b] aware of the work being done
I was there everyday for over a month, much of the work was cosmetic so it was not hidden from view by [b]ANY[/b] means!! Though she took a back seat and had minimal input. She was also aware of our verbal agreement as to payment, of which I have received nada!
What I DO know is the house was purchased during their marriage and they are currently still married. However, I also know [i]his[/i] name is not on the title. The house is in California.
My questions are:
Since this is looking like a case for the small claims court.....Should I name BOTH the husband and wife as defendants?
Since he over saw the work and played "foreman", but, with only [i]her[/] name on the title. Will this somehow complicate my case?
What sort of an approach should I take in a case such as this? What should I look out for that may put a snag in my claim in regards to prenups and collections? Any thoughts?
Thanks ~B)
