If I get divorced in Washington State after being legally married in California, does my wife get half of everything I brought to the marriage, such as my house, truck, van, boat, vacation property, and cash? We have only been married for 5 years.

In civil court, if a Defendant's lawyer fails to disclose after both a granted motion to disclose AND a subsequently served Duces Tecum Subpoena, is that lawyer in Default, Contempt of Court, just "out of compliance," or all of the above? Would a Civil Court Justice of the Peace grant a Default Judgement in such a case, impose sanctions, or what? This situation exists in the state of Arizona, and the lawyer is a Corporate Attorney.

I served some papers for a Pro Se litigant who won his case in California. He has sent me a Judgment from a California Superior Court, the Minutes from an Appeal (Trial De Novo), the Court Clerk's Certification of Mailing, and a copy of the Plaintiff's Claim and Order from small claims court. He asked me to file these documents at the Denton County Courthouse in Texas. Is this something that can be done in Texas, and what is the process for filing out-of-state judgments?
