Here is my question, I live in a community property state and
my wife wants to purchase an existing business that is in her
profession. I have a permanent disability and cannot work. I
receive workers compensation every month and I am prohibited
from earning any other income. Because I live in a community
property state does that stop my wife from purchasing a
business just in her name? And if she can purchase a business
in her name can she use my income as well as hers to get
financing?  Thank you

Let me start by saying that I am not a divorce lawyer, so I'm not 100% sure, but I belive that although she can purchase a business in her name alone, if the two of you were to divorce in a community property state, you would be entitled to half of the buusiness.

Hope that helps.
