If you are willing to give up your financial interest in the house it is your right to do so but I don't recommend conveying your interest in real property if you are still on the mortgage. If your husband did not pay, the lenders would seek payment from you and also, the loan would be on your... View More

Sorry, you can't do a summary dissolution without his participation but you can try for a default judgment.

As an extreme example, if I had $100,000 in my 401K in 1999, got married in 2000 and contributed $10,000 that year while married, if the account now has a value of $500,000, will the growth ($390,000) be evenly split or will it take into account the amount/percent... View More

The growth in the $10,000 contributed during marriage is community property; the growth in the $100,000 prior to marriage is separate property. A qualified domestic relations order to divide such an account would typically state that the interest acquired between the date of marriage and date of... View More

You cannot get married to a person who is married, regardless of where they were married or where they are or their spouse is. Your marriage will not be valid.

You are not legally separated. You can file in California since you have lived here at least six months and file in the county you have lived in for the last three months.
If I file for childsupport you think I might get more than what I'm asking for ?

Child support is primarily a function of time and income, although with four children is it quite likely you would be entitled to child support. But again the amount, will be a function of the time the kids spend with each of you and your respective incomes.
I need the passport of my son for a meeting with global entry. She doesn't let me have it. We both share 50% custody.
How can I enforce to have the passport for 2 days ? What are my rights as a dad for the passport where both agree to have ?

You both have equal rights to the passport so it is unfortunate that she won't allow you to have it. I generally think it is a good idea to try to resolve these issues through mediation rather than litigation, but it may be that you will have to file for a court order that the passport be shared.
We have not went to court for who will have full custody of the child. However, i think it's best for the child to be where he is, Due to the DV past with the other parent and i had, and i don't want that. it would cause a mess in my current life. How do i go about signing my rights away?... View More

It is typically not easy to sign away parental rights because you would also be signing away the child's right to a parent and courts are not keen to do that. Sometimes the custodial parent can have the other parent's rights terminated but not so easy the non-custodial parent.

There is no way to answer your question without far more information. Whether or not you will owe child support depends on the amount of time your son spends with each of you and each of your incomes. Whether or not you will owe spousal support depends on the length of the marriage, the ability and... View More

Spousal support must be addressed in any judgment of dissolution. So, depending on the type of judgment and the jurisdiction, you either need to address the issue in a marital settlement agreement or FL343 or both.
I transferred my retirement account into an IRA in my name only about a year ago. My husband signed and had notorized the spousal consent forms to do this. Is that money considered community property? Can he come after half as he claims he will do? He knew the account was in my name only.

Assuming the funds in the IRA were acquired through your efforts during your marriage it is community property.

If the court order addresses the issue then your answer is there. If the court order does not address the issue, there is unfortunately no right answer to the question - it depends.
