Question

I was told this morning that my husband filed for divorce. We have lived together for 3 1/2 years, married for 1 1/2 of those years. The house we shared is in his name, however; he only lived in for 2 months prior to me moving in. To avoid having any legal issues should I stay at the house until we finalize the divorce. Also, during our marriage with my help he was able to pay of 2 vehicles. He says I am not intitled to any kind of financial compensation.



Answer

Staying in the house, or leaving it, won't make any difference in any "legal issues."

It sounds as if the house is his separate property.

As for "financial compensation," you are entitled to half of the community property.
