How Will the Property Be Divided During the Divorce?
During a divorce, each party is allowed to keep any separate property they acquired before the marriage and after a legal separation. Any property received as a gift, an inheritance, or that is specifically designated as separate property during the marriage will remain in full possession of the respective owner. The court will divide any community property obtained during the marriage in an equitable and just manner.
