California is a Community Property State
California is a community property state. Therefore, any assets or debts acquired throughout a marriage belong equally to both spouses. These assets and debts must be equally divided between the spouses by the court in a divorce.
In California, spouses can reach their own property settlement agreement, or the court can divide their property on their behalf. Marital debt is also considered community property and is subject to division in any divorce.
The Date of Separation
The date of separation is crucial when determining the division of assets and debts in California. Any assets and debts incurred by the spouses after separation are considered separate property.
California law defines separation as:
Physical separation. The spouses must be living apart from each other. One spouse will likely have moved out of the shared home, but it is also possible that the court may decide the spouses are separated when they are sleeping apart from each other; or
Intent to end the marriage. The spouses must prove that the separation was made with the intent to end the marriage permanently and is not a trial separation.
Proving the date of separation can be difficult, but it is essential when either spouse accrues with debt after the separation. Otherwise, the other spouse may be responsible for that debt.
