What is the name of your state? california
I have been married since 1998. My husband bought the house in 1986. The house was $80,000. He put $20,000 down. He refinanced in 1994 to buy a car. I moved in the house in 1995 and we married in 1998. At that time the house was worth about $195,000. We refinanced in 2001 for another car. So now we owe $77,000. The house is appraised for around $350,000 now. I have been contributing to this house since I moved in, but didn't get married until 1998. Also, he didn't put my name on the deed until we refinanced in 2001. Does this make a difference. We have 2 children, and we are getting divorced. I also found out that when we bought the car in 2001, he put it in his name only. That was his way of having more control. His mother says that I should be the one to move out with the kids, and that I'm not entitled to anything having to do with the house. Is this true? I live in California. It's a community property state. I know I need to get an attorney, but I'm saving my money for that now. We are currently living in the same house. Can anyone give me any advice? Thanks!!!
