WHO WOULD GET CHILD CUSTODY IN OUR DIVORCE?

QUESTION: We have been married 2 1/2 years. When we found out I was pregnant, my husband insisted on me staying home to care for our daughter. I have no income except from him. He wanted everything in his name only so both of our cars are in his name. Would he get custody?

MY RESPONSE:

You would likely get sole or primary Child Custody since you have been your daughter's primary parent since birth.

You would be entitled to receive Child Support, Spousal Support and Attorney fee orders in a divorce case.

It does not matter that the cars are only in your husband's name; if they were bought with community funds (such as your husband's income), or on community credit (such as your husband's credit during the marriage), they are community property, and the Court divides net community property 50/50.
