Community Property in California and Property Division

California is a community property state, meaning that any assets gained during a marriage must be split equally between the parties. Separate property is owned by one spouse or another. Part of a divorce lawyer's job is demonstrating that a particular asset is either separate or community property, depending on the circumstances.
