This book will focus on the rights each spouse has under certain laws, situations, and circumstances, and how the division of the property will be decided by the court or through negotiation.
My attorney told me I was entitled to 1/2. Whether I was or not I guess is mute. I never took it that far; I couldn't take it. A friend of mine, whose home was completely paid for, remarried a few years ago. She divorced this 2nd, cheating husband about 5 years later, and had to pay 1/2 the increase in value that accrued during that time...and houses increased by the double digits here every year for that time frame. Her house has gone from $135K to $248K, and she had pay him about $56,000. Of course, she was bewildered about it...and she should be. How many people are even aware of such laws? It is all so wrong.
