Married in LA. She lives there with him. She has been given at least 3 or more cash gifts that she knew were coming, shortly after leaving me. Can I sue for half of the cash gifts? Or undue emotional distress, loss of freedom?

Gifts to her are her separate property. If she has cheated on you and lives with him, you can obtain a divorce in 45 days. Hire a divorce lawyer.

It means you need to print anything emailed to you and take it to a family law attorney to review.

Why is this necessary, as my mortgage is in my name only, and my ex-husband received payment for his interest in the home when I purchase.
answered on Feb 23, 2018
The mortgage company is trying to protect itself. Property purchased during the marriage is community property, unless there was a prenup, even if only one party listed on title.

answered on Feb 12, 2018
No, if you've been voluntarily living separate and apart for over a year, you should be entitled to an immediate divorce. You would be the only one to contest the "voluntary" part, in that you were actively deployed and didn't have much say in the separation. Give me a call,... View More
