Under California law, assets acquired or income
earned by individuals while married to and living with a spouse is
treated as community property, to be divided equally if the marriage is
dissolved, absent an earlier agreement between the couple. Some
community property assets – such as investments, business ownership
interests and stock options, real estate and retirement funds – may be
especially difficult to value.
Further complicating the calculation of net community estate are the exclusion of assets owned by one party before the marriage and the requirement to deduct the couple's joint obligations, such as debt on jointly-held credit cards. It is also common to see complex issues raised in cases where an asset, such as a business that was owned by one spouse before the marriage, but where both spouses worked during the marriage, or a property that one spouse owned before the marriage, but was shared by the couple during the marriage.
