Do I get credit for the money I have spent to live outside the home after seperation, prior to the divorce being final.
In a community property state, like Arizona, if you spent community property money after separation to live outside the home, you will be charged with one-half that amount, since one-half of the community property belongs to you and the other one-half to your spouse.
If you spent separate property monies after separation (such as post-separation earnings) to live outside the home you are neither charged nor credited.
If you continued to pay the mortgage for the family residence and your spouse continued to live there while you lived outside the family residence, you may be entitled to the fair rental value for your spouse’s use of the family residence.
My wife got married and she never stopped child support. We are getting divorced now. Does that back child support get taken off because we got married?
