IF ALL OF OUR ASSETS ARE IN MY HUSBAND'S NAME, WILL I GET HALF OF THEM IN A DIVORCE?

QUESTION: Will I get half of the property in our divorce? If I were about to get a divorce and my spouse of sixty-seven years had all our assets in only his name, could I get half of everything although all of it is in only his name?

MY ANSWER: The answer would depend on the transactions that resulted in all the assets all being in your spouse's name, as well as your spouse's dealings with you regarding those transactions, whether any part of the property was acquired with traceable separate property, whether there was a Premarital Agreement, and other factors specific to your matter.

You should retain an experienced Family Law Attorney to represent you to seek (among other things) your community interest in the assets acquired during your marriage.
