We investigate space- and time-like form factors for $\omega\to\pi\gamma^*$ and $K^*\to K\gamma^*$ decays using the light-front quark model constrained by the variational principle for the QCD-motivated effective Hamiltonian. The momentum dependent space-like form factors are obtained in the $q^+=0$ frame and then analytically continued to the time-like region. Our prediction for the time-like form factor $F_{\omega\pi}(q^2)$ is in good agreement with the experimental data. We also find that the space-like form factor $F_{K^{*\pm}K^{\pm}}(Q^2)$ for charged kaons encounters a zero because of the negative interference between the two currents to the quark and the antiquark.
