depends on when you got married.

The new Family code states that whatever you have and still have at the time you married and divorced will be divided into two when you are seperated.

You can take the land and have it titles to your son. You can sell the other stuff and you can ask to stay at your house.

dont give anything to him/let him work/if it is your money just give all to kid

i'm sorry, but, yes. he can claim half of the properties you, either of you, or both of you have accumulated during the period which your marriage was still in effect.

under the law, the properties accumulated within the period by a couple legally bound by marriage is considered conjugal. if, in any case the couple decides to annul its marriage, the properties that are deemed conjugal must be divided equally between former spouses.

It probably depends on when you bought them. Perhaps he will need some "persuasion"......got any brothers ? ( Katy, if she left her soon-to-be-ex anything, Mr. HasNothing will sell everything he gets, and her son will have nothing.)

Of course the justice system while it does favour the women seperation is seperation and unless you got a prenup he gets half if he wants it.

In most states its the 50/50 rule. Now if you can prove that you owned items prior to marriage and prove that you were the only contributor you might want to find a good lawyer.
Is it any different then the husband (sole supporter) who has provided a home, furnishings, etc loosing all to the wife in a divorce action.
The only winner is the lawyer, he gets his too.

seperated?? does it mean legally... for if it isn't, everything you own if still apart his.... but if you are divorces,, annuled or whatever... he has no rights by your properties... or anything but your son...

Sweetee I will advice you not to get separated. You try to adjust with him As a good friend.
Money is not everything in the life
I hope you will think on my advice & change your Idea of sepration

Best to talk to an attorney about it, but if you have the receipts that show YOU payed for it (not out of a joint account) it would help immensely.

Hire a good attorney and do your best not to give anything to your husband. You work hard overseas while he's doing nothing at home. Why would he claim for something he didnt work for where in fact he should be the one working to raise your family. I bet all he did while you're overseas was to spend your money in beer and in the worst case to other woman....

the best way is to consult a lawyer, the lawyer will provide all the legal answer to your question good luck.

I go with Ms. Anabelle. It's either you have a pre-nuptial agreement which says he can't have a share of what you own pre-marriage or what you will buy on your own money. Or all gets accounted as conjugal properties. Seek a good lawyer. After all, you have worked hard for that, not him.

If you are a Muslim woman of Bangladesh your husband will get nothing after legal seperation by way of divorce.
Of course if you die then your husband will be in 2 position
1. if you dies leaving no son or daughter then your husband shall get half of your property.
2. if you dies leaving sons or daughters he will get one fourth of your property.

If all your properties were bought after your marriage, then these are considered conjugal properties therefore, he gets half of what you own. That's the law. In like manner, all properties you own while still single and which you brought with you on your marriage is also considered part of your conjugal property. The only thing he cannot have a share are properties you inherited from your parents before your marriage. Better consult a lawyer to help you with your problem. He can explain to you more about paraphernal and conjugal properties. Good luck!

i believe that all depends on the state you
live in. consult an attorney/.

If you were married before Aug. 31, 1988, then all the properties you owned before your marriage is considered as your exclusive property meaning your husband gets zero if you separate. However, certain rules govern as regards properties acquired during the marriage. Please refer to the link below, the provision relevant to this would be Art. 109.

However, if you were married after Aug. 31, 1988, then all your properties are considered as jointly acquired by you and your husband the marriage. Therefore, he gets half of all you own.

On the other hand, if you will be legally separated, make sure you tell your lawyer to ask for the declaration of the presumptive legitime of your child so as to prevent your husband from squandering all the properties he will receive when you separate.

And make sure you get a good lawyer!

If before you get married, you had pre-nuptial agreement, well, you're on the safe side. But if not, you will have to give half of your conjugal properties as well as the properties that you acquired when you';re still single.
Hope you could reconcile for the sake of your kid. Take care and may the spirit of Christmas serve as the way for you to kiss and make up; and forgive and forget.
GOD BLESS THE COUPLE.

If u have bought all thses things with ur own hard earned money or if it comes from ur parents, then it is all urs.

on the otherhand, if u have bought it with ur hub's then u beter give it back to him.

If u both have shared the source, then u might as well share the properties too.

if u really wanna share everything, then u may continue sharing the bed too with him. for some more time.

Your 3 year old needs a motorcycle? If you gave half of everything to your husband, then he WOULD have something to leave the son you had together. And anyway, if the father of your child has nothing, the decent thing to do is to give him something, And get over yourself.

Can he afford a lawyer? If all your property's in your name then it's yours. I know he's going to ask you for something and you'll be seperated but he'll be living around your area right? Just keep an eye on things and make sure everybody knows your seperated and he has no right claiming anything that you have.

if you are in America. you will have 75% of winning in the court but if you are in Philippines than you have to find out the rule for getting or being separated. I will say give him the motorcycle because your son only 3 and keep all the other stuffs. good luck and hope you get to keep all your stuffs. you work hard for it.
