My spouse came into our marria

My spouse came into our marria

My spouse came into our marriage in 1988 with a house she had purchased in about 1974. From 1988 until the mortgage was completely paid off in 2004 (and thereafter), she handled all the household bookkeeping. Each month she would present me with an itemized bill for my half of household expenses (mortgage, insurance, utilities, cable, cleaning lady, etc.). One of those line items was, every month for 16 years, my half of the mortgage payment. I always wrote a check to her from my own separate checking account to cover my half of our monthly household bills. We are now divorcing. Does the fact that I paid out of my own account (rather than a joint account being used), and always wrote the check payable to her, negatively impact any equity interest that might otherwise accrue to me under Moore-Marsden?

Hi Druss, Normally the Moore Marsden rule will be applicable in case of joint account and not in case of your separate account. Thus, in my opinion, you should contact an attorney welll versed with the community property laws of your state and he will guide you further in this regard.
