California Community Property

California's community property system under Cal. Fam. Code §760 presumes all property acquired during marriage is equally owned. Upon divorce, community property must be divided equally. Separate property — owned before marriage or acquired by gift or inheritance — is not subject to division. California does not permit courts to deviate from the equal division rule except in limited circumstances such as deliberate misappropriation.
