I'm about to file for divorce in California. The house is only under my husband's name. However, I have paid for the house as well. We want the house to go to our 2 daughters. In case he or I remarry, we don't want anyone else to be able to get the house. How can we go about making sure that our daughters get the house.

Answer

A marital judgment articulating that arrangement and proper estate planning instruments would be in order.
