Does My Mom’s Ex-husband Have Property Rights To Her Home?
My mom and dad moved into their home in California in 1979. They divorced in 1983. Mom got the house. She remarried in 1989. She divorced husband number two in 2002. She again got the house in the settlement. In 2007, ex-husband (Bill) moved back in. They never remarried and lived platonically. Around 2010, my sister paid off the remaining mortgage on the house and my mother made her half owner. Ex husband never paid rent, but did pay utilities and groceries. Utilities were in his name. He’s now 89 and infirm. My 81 year old mother can’t care for him anymore and has had a rough last few years trying. He has three sons. They hadn’t spoken to Bill in several years, but came back into the picture when palliative care asked them to become POA over Bill. They did so, and apparently thought he would have more money saved up (he only has about 20K from a 200K inheritance he got when his mom died 15 years ago) and are accusing my mom of stealing it. They also say the house is partially Bill’s and they will sue. They are also refusing to pay for housing for him, so he’s stuck in my mom’s house getting sicker and weaker. I’ve googled that there is no common law marriage in California. But do they have a case?
