    California divorce laws
    In a marriage of 19 years is everything split 50/50.
    My husband has a Motorcycle that is almost paid off and worth about 25,000.00. He says it's only in his name and he doesn't have to split it's worth.
    I am getting a lawyer just haven't got there yet.

    If it was acquired during your marriage he's wrong.

    It isn't community property except for Dahlia's husband's motorcycle.

    :D Or his sports memorabilia (which is probably why we are bankrupt)

    Good, while he's living out of his motorcycle he can spend his free time organizing his sports memorabilia - that is, the half that he's left with.

    - hang in there. I admire your spirit and your sense of humor.

    Everything is included in the marital assets. That doesn't mean everything is split 50/50. For example, there is a motorcycle worth $25K and a sports memorabilia collection worth $175K and a house worth $200K. So he can keep the cycle and the collection and you get the house.

    Absolutely - I should have been more specific. The VALUE of the assets acquired during the marriage is split 50/50.

    Or to annoy him, ask for half of the memorbilia and one wheel from the motorcycle.

    LOL, Ask for both wheels but let him have the chassis.
