How long do you have to be married to someone to obtain their house that’s only in their name?

If the house is in the boyfriend's name and he had it before the marriage, it is considered separate property. She may be able to kick him out for a short period of time, but in the end the house will return back to the owner. Upon divorce she may have a claim for reimbursement, but that is not likely to happen if she is only married to the guy a short period of time. She will not be able to marry him, kick him out and then keep his house.

Yes, but if you are in a different country, there are some technicalities that must be met with the waiver. You or your husband should consult a local divorce attorney for further advice. Good luck.

She can divorce you. You need to file for custody and a move away if you want to take the kids overseas. Calpers is yours. Social security belongs to the earner, so it's yours. Depending on income she may get alimony and child support from you. You can't take kids overseas without court's permission or her agreement.
