Assets in a community property state that were quick claimed deed at time of purchase

What protection does one have in real estate in a community property state if the other party quick claimed deeded the property at the time of purchase, did not make any financial contribution at all to the property and only lived at the property for 30 days out of a seven year separation? If this party hired an attorney to represent him in an dissolution, does this attorney have grounds for a legal argument to allow this person fifty percent of this specific real estate? How do judges normally view situations such as this if this matter ends up in court?

there is no way he would get 50% or anything at all if there was no financial contribution and you have been separated for that long.  the judges would not listen long if they hired an attorney.  I would do research on the following case:  In re Marriage of Hurd, 69 Wn. App. 38 (1993) which stands for the principle that a family home that is put in both parties names is presumed to be a gift to the community, even if it was purchased with one parties premarital separate assets/funds.  You should look at the precedent surrounding this case.  I won't give you a solid answer other than that because this type of situation is very fact specific.  Your property is not in both names but you are still technically married?

If you have been separated for 7 years i don't think you have to worry to much because they have known how to get ahold of you if there was cause for a financial remedy in the law.
