Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona

Re: Own house before marriage.

Typically in this situation, there will be a portion of the equity in the house that is the sole and separate property of the spouse who previosuly owned it, and there will be a portion of the equity in the house which will be divided as community property. The actual amount of each depends upon a variety of factors.

I can explain the law and procedures better by phone or in person. We offer free 1/2 hour consultations, in which we can discuss the matter in more detail.

Please call me directly to discuss the specifics of your case, or contact my assistant Cathy to schedule a free 1/2 hour consultation. I look forward to talking with you.
