QUESTION
Will I get half of the house if we divorce if the house is under my husband and his parents' names?
Asked on May 04th, 2013 on Divorce - California
More details to this question:
I got married to my husband and now we are buying the house. The loan is under his parents' names and his name too, I think as a co-sign borrower. So if anything happens later on, like we divorce, will I get a part of the house? I work and my wage is around $30,000 a year.

There is no yes or no answer to that question. You need to discuss this with a lawyer and the issue of mixing of separate and community property.

You may get some of the equity for the community paying the mortgage by way of principal paydown and a proportionate interest in the equity. See an attorney
