What to Do About Your Marital Property

​Is California a 50-50 state when it comes to divorce? Yes, in a way, California law does decide that marital or community property is divided equally during a divorce, not equitably. Any property or assets that were gained during a marriage belongs to both spouses, so they are split as equally as possible when the marriage ends.

Community property of concern for your divorce could include:

• Joint savings accounts
• Real estate
• Automobiles
• Appliances and electronics
• Family businesses
• And more

You do have the option to decide how to split marital property by working with your spouse, though. The two of you can agree to split it unequally if you believe that would be fair. If you are worried about losing an important asset in a divorce, then you should consider creating a property division agreement with your spouse that does not depend on the court’s intervention.
