My question involves a marriage in the state of: California
This is a very unusual situation, and I can't seem to find an answer anywhere. Divorce papers are about to be filed. No attorneys. Court mediation for custody and support.
Here is the question.
I am the petitioner. We live in a house I rented 1.5 years prior to the marriage (18 years ago). She is not on the month-to-month rental agreement, which includes reduced rent in exchange for maintenance, projects, upkeep, etc. Landlord has indicated that this arrangement will not be transferred, and that if I were to vacate, property will be rented at market value. Landlord expressed very clearly that she is not interested in renting to soon-to-be ex-wife.
What are the residency rights in this situation? I would like to continue with my agreement - as does the landlord, however, the soon-to-be ex-wife wants to stay in the house; however, at market value, she cannot afford the rent.
Any insight?
