San Marcos, TX Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

Your spouse may be entitled to one half of the proceeds from the vehicle. There are many facts an attorney or judge would need to know before advising you or deciding that, however. For example, the car that was sold was it yours before you married, given to you as a gift, or purchased together? Were the proceeds used to buy a new car which you will take out of the marriage when the divorce is finalized? Visit with a local attorney about your facts, and your rights/responsibilities.

If you've been separated for over 180 days (365 days after the baby is born), or if your husband has been convicted of a crime punishable by hard labor (generally a felony), you would probably be entitled to an immediate divorce.

Your wife would be a "co-owner" of the funds in that account if accumulated during your marriage as California is a community property state. If the money was yours prior to marriage then the money is presumably yours. Before concluding with that however there exist rebuttals to that presumption that would require time with an attorney and additional facts.
