Separate Property Tracings — Asset Protection

California is a community property state. That means that any assets acquired during the marriage are considered to be owned equally by each spouse. However, there are provisions respecting the separate property that each spouse brought into the marriage. You are entitled to leave the marriage with the assets you brought into it.

In other words, just because your assets have co-mingled with your spouse's, it doesn't necessarily mean you can't get them back after a divorce.

For example, if you and your spouse purchased a home after the marriage, but you paid for it using your separate money from before the marriage, then you are eligible in most cases to get those funds back after the divorce is completed and the house is sold. Accomplishing this task requires a careful review of all relevant documentation by a lawyer working in tandem with a forensic accountant.
