I am an american citizen living in NYC. I married a Dominican man in the Dominican Republic 3 years ago and have 2 children with him. I've decided not to move to DR and we've decided to just call it quits. When he was getting our house built I gave 10,000 US dollars. Now that we are getting a divorce and he is sellling the house I want some of the money that he gets for the house. What are my rights as his wife? Although I do not live there I think I am entitled to something being that I am raising our children. We are amicable to eachother but money always brings out the worse in people. Therefore, I would like to be prepared in case he tells me he is planning on giving me zilch. Thanks for your advice.
