I am currently married and I'm planning on getting a divorce in very near future. My question is that I would like to buy a home when I move out, how can I do this legally so I don't have to give my soon to be ex-wife any legal possibilities of taking the home from me. I need any and all help that is out there. If there is a way to do this le becakds cascasa faksldjf paloma


Q/A "board" for posting such questions, you might be best served by retaining an attorney. Arx Fortis 19:04, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Clarification

The article states "In a community property jurisdiction, most property acquired during the marriage (except for gifts or inheritances) is owned jointly by both spouses and is divided upon divorce, annulment or death." If I may ask, how does the death of a spouse result in the division of community property? Arx Fortis 19:05, 27 October 2006 (UTC) I have a question if anyone knows. If inheritance is not considered as joint property, is the money from inheritance (from a deceased parent) sitting in a mutual fund after his death considered joint property. That is confusing, my fathers inheritance was put in a mutual fund account, now on his death is that community property, or become part of his trust.

You might want to hire a lawyer. Community property law is notoriously confusing and varies a lot from state to state. Good luck finding a lawyer, though. Family law specialists are relatively rare because there isn't much money in it (unless one represents celebrities all the time) and the clients have a bad habit of driving their lawyers crazy and burning them out of the profession. --Coolcaesar 05:31, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
