My husband has filed for divorce. He quit claimed the house to me 4 years ago. Now I am told that it doesn't matter in California because we were married for more than 25 years. Is there case law to support that the house should NOT be a part of the divorce settlement in California as community property? I am desparate to find out this information with support documentation.

Hi gc coral,

Your husband had quit claimed the property to you. Thus, his name is not on the property deed and it will be considered as your sole and separate property. So, it shouldn't be included in your divorce settlement as a community property. You need to contact a California based attorney who is an expert in community property laws of your state and get proper legal documentation.
