Separate Versus Community

California family law divides assets into two classifications: separate and community. Separate property is an asset that is determined to belong to a specific spouse. Community property is owned by both spouses. After the assets are classified, they are assigned a value. It is critical to have the right family law professionals when determining what category the property belongs in.
SEPARATE: Inheritances, gifts received during marriage, and property acquired before marriage or after separation are generally the acquiring spouse’s separate property and need not be divided.
COMMUNITY: The community property law divides assets, so that each party receives exactly half of the assets; however, at times it is difficult or even impossible to divide a particular asset, such as a house.
