Best Answer

I cannot fully answer that question without more information but on a more basic level, California is a community property state meaning that each spouse own 1/2 of everything they made/own during the course of their marriage. Unless the other spouse bought the house before your marriage and kept it separate then you would own 1/2 of the house.
