FAQ
Wives : A wife is entitled to an equal share of her husband's property like other entitled heirs. If there are no sharers, she has full right to the entire property.She is also entitled to maintenance, support and shelter from husband, and if staying in a joint family, from the family.
Marital property includes real estate and other property a couple buys together during their marriage, such as a home or investment property, cars, boats, furniture, or artwork, when not acquired by either as separate property.
Separate property can become marital property if it is mixed with marital property. For example, if one of the spouses uses money they had before the marriage to buy a house for the couple, that money might become marital property.
In California, all property bought during the marriage with income that was earned during the marriage is deemed "community property." The law implies that both spouses own this property equally, regardless of which name is on the title deed.
In California, most married couples hold real property (such as land and buildings) as joint tenants with right of survivorship.For instance, many married couples share real property as joint tenants. This way, upon the death of a spouse, the surviving spouse will own 100% share of the property.
In that case, you simply divide your interest into equal parts. For example, if there are two of you, you would each agree to divide your shares 50/50. If you have a TIC, you have more options, because you don't have to divide your interests 50/50. Instead, you can divide the shares into fractional ownership.
California's separate property laws apply to a house owned before marriage.(b) A married person may, without the consent of the person's spouse, convey the person's separate property." Therefore, you should have a separate property interest during the divorce in that premarital asset which is your house.
Separate property belongs to the spouse who owns it and is not generally divided in a divorce. California law also provides that property spouses acquire before a divorce, but after the date of separation, is separate property.
In estate law, joint tenancy is a special form of ownership by two or more persons of the same property. The individuals, who are called joint tenants, share equal ownership of the property and have the equal, undivided right to keep or dispose of the property. Joint tenancy creates a Right of Survivorship.
