Can my ex wife claim half my new house?
Can my ex-wife claim half my new house and other assets I’ve acquired after divorce? The ‘matrimonial pot’ – which essentially comprises the collection of assets that need to be divided between a couple getting divorced – will normally be split 50:50. It all comes down to the individual circumstances of the divorce.

Can ex-wife come after new wife’s income?
Since California is a community property state, the parent must include one-half of the couple’s community property on his or her tax return. The new spouse’s income could push the ex-spouse’s salary into a higher tax bracket, which could affect the after-tax income and thus the amount of child support owed.
When did my partner buy my house outright?

Can a former spouse take Your House if you get a divorce?

When did my wife get half the house in divorce?
