PROPERTY AND DIVORCE

In California, property obtained during marriage is presumed to be “community property”. This means that both parties are generally entitled to an equal share of the community property assets, unless it is clearly stated in a written agreement that the item is “separate property.” Property that was purchased in another state is “quasi-community property” and for the purpose of dissolution is treated like community property.
