Is that the property automatically conjugal?

What is the name of your state? California

Hi, I just want to know if I have the right over my husband's real property that he gained before we got married or gained when he was still married to his first wife?

I am his second-wife. My husband have a real property that he gained during his marriage to his first-wife. They made a loan from the bank, meaning both of them signed up to the loan documents from the bank. In accordance with the divorce decision, my husband who has already shouldered the mortage payment from then on. He said to me that he advised the bank that his ex-wife named be removed from the obligation/responsibility for paying.

Now, he is married to me already and we have 1 child. Do I have the right over that property? He is always telling me that that is his property alone and I have no right or am not the owner because that property is only in his name. Besides, the bank keeps including the name of my husband's ex-wife till this present. We are now living in California, but his property is in Montana. What law can we abide over that property? Is that automatically our conjugal property already?

Well, that's it. I am looking forward to receiving a reply to this matter.

Thank you.

Your probably out of luck. Montana law states what is owned prior to marriage stays in possession of the owner. The only claim you may be able to make would be if there was a divorce (in California, a community property state), you may be entitled to a percentage of the value if common funds were used to pay any part of the payments on the land. This would depend on how long your hubby has been paying on the land and the amount you supplied towards any payments. If the decision over ownership is made in Montana, you won't get squat.

The MOST you could hope for would be a percent of the appreciation from the time of marriage until a divorce. Or, of course, if you remain married to him until he dies, you may perhaps inherit his interest- if it is not held in Jt. Title WROS with his ex.

And it would be termed "marital" or "community property" - not conjugal!
