How Are Property and Debts Divided in a Divorce?

In the state of California, property, and debts are divided into two categories community property and separate property.

• Community Property: In the eyes of the law, when two people marry, they become one community. In California, each spouse owns one-half of the community property. You may have more community property than you think. Community property is considered any property acquired during the marriage. Some examples of community property include:
  • Homes purchased during the marriage
  • Cars purchased during the marriage
  • Debts accumulated during the marriage
  • Pension plans

Our Carlsbad family law attorneys can help you organize your assets and property.

• Separate Property: This property includes anything you owned before the marriage or domestic partnership. Some examples of separate property include:
  • Gifts from your spouse
  • Inheritance</
