Legal Answers
483 Questions Answered
- Q. California Community Property Law and an Unfinished E-Book
- A: Is your spouse claiming any interest in the non-income-generating e-book? It would seem that this could be easily addressed as part of your settlement discussions; unless there's reasonable likelihood that the e-book will generate income, my guess is your spouse will gladly agree to assigning it to you as your separate property.

[See FC 852] It's difficult to tell when the ring was given to you. Speak with a local attorney about your specific matter. [I litigate cases.
