If the house was paid for with community funds, she has a case.  (A case, not a sure victory.) There are lots of possible reasons (for instance, it may be that in using community funds, it is a breach of the contract, so the house is community property -- or it may be that the agreement would be found unconscionable, esp. if she had no legal advice prior to agreeing), and lots of facts that cannot be determined from your question.  But she should consult a lawyer.

I don't know which is worse? My Aunt is going through a divorce in AZ and apparently everything is community property, meaning 50/50. In your case I would fear that debt would also be 50/50 responsiblity.And even if you do have children, if you have deep relationship issues, kids aren't stupid and it sucks to live that way for all of you!

The court's have contingencies for most problems....but it would be worth your time to talk to an attorney.  You may be able to petition the family law judge for a specific order authorizing you to transfer title to the home and sell the property without her signature.  Do it right the first time....it could be a legal nightmare if you sell the property without proper legal authority.

The lien is on the property. Whom the property is deeded to is a separate issue.

This is a state's issue, not a federal one.  It is up to each individual state to decide their laws on divorce.

On a federal level there are no affects to transferring assets between spouses.  Some states such as California are community property states, which means that all assets are considered to be owned by both spouses.

in general in cal, you can agree to anything, unless the law says ou can't.\nwith such a general question it is dificult to get specific.\nthe bay area counties are among the most restrictive in ca, and rent control is a fact of life, where the rest of the state is more relaxed.\ncontact the local board of realtors for better info.

It all sounds like small claims court is the right place.  The defendant needs to show up and present her story (and it would help if the ex-boyfriend presents his.)  If anybody ha any evidence of who owns the stuff (receipts, etc.) it would help win the case.

NO children involved? Does she expect alimony? Does he expect alimony..if answers to all are no, then file and do it yourself. You will have to pay the Sheriff to serve the papers. IF there is shared property, most states will force a sale and a split of 50-50 of all assets. Good luck

Holding title to real property as Community Property is a type of ownership available to married couples only. There are currently nine states which offer Community Property status. These states are: Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin. The "marital property act" defined Wisconsin as a community-property state, but individual circumstances will dictate how this act is interpreted. \n\nThe property laws in these nine states look at property purchased during a marriage as community property and both husband and wife have an equal right to possess the property during their marriage. In some states, upon the death of either spouse, the surviving spouse automatically receive half of the community property. With community property, neither spouse may sell his or her own share. To transfer the property to someone else, both husband and wife must sign the deed. When one spouse dies and leaves no will, the surviving spouse may acquire the property, but unlike joint tenancy, either spouse may will his half interest to others if he or she so chooses. \n\nCommunity property laws may become complex, especially when dividing up assets upon a dissolution of the marriage. You may have heard of the divorced couple in which the ex husband filed for his share of the proceeds of the lottery winnings of his former wife. Apparently, his wife had won the lottery, while they were still married, and failed to tell her husband of her winnings. They then divorced and the wife did not reveal these lottery winnings as assets at the time of the dissolution. The husband found out some time later, filed for his share in court, and was awarded the full amount of the lottery money. This occurred in a Community Property state, where all assets of a married couple acquired during the marriage are considered "community property." If you have any doubts as to Community Property law in your state, you may want to consult with an attorney, to be certain what the implications are of holding title as community property.

What your attorney is saying is that it will cost you more in legal fees to go to court than what the stuff still in dispute between you and your ex is worth.\n\nAlso, some judges resolve disputes over household stuff by ordering it all sold and that the proceeds be split between the husband and wife.  Please note, what you can sell your furniture for is not what it is going to cost you to replace the furniture.\n\nTell your attorney to get the best deal he can, settle the case, and move on.  You will feel better and have more money left.

This has nothing whatever to do with marital property rights, community property or anything else. (Although would be important in other circumstances.) But here, your name is on the deed.\n\nIf your name is on the deed then you have an interest in the property. If the deed is simply to you and your spouse with nothing further stated then your interest is the same as your husband's.
