If your house is community property, the court will include it in the "just and right division" of your marital estate regardless of whose name is on the loan or deed. The phrasing you use "entitled to half of the equity" is not precisely correct. You are "entitled"... View More

If not, it may be useful to bring your most recent tax return, paycheck stubs, and bank account statements if... View More

The car is in my wife name but was bought while we were married.

The only issue would be my ex wife being pissed off, and her attorney having too cozy of a relationship with the judge. This "issue" was never previously discussed in any litigation. This...
