to property owned before marriage, all of which is separate
property.

Did You Know?
A PETITION FOR DIVORCE (or
"DISSOLUTION") must be filed and decided in court. However,
all states have "no-fault divorce" laws that allow couples to
split on the basis of irreconcilable differences without going
to trial and without the requirement of establishing fault.

Community Property:
Property and profits received by a husband and wife
during the marriage, with the exception of inheritances,
specific gifts to one of the spouses, and property and
profits clearly traceable to property owned before marriage,
all of which is separate property. Community property
is a concept which began in Spain to protect rich women
from losing everything to profligate husbands, and is
only officially recognized in some states which were
once under or influenced by Spanish or Mexican control,
including California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Nevada,
Idaho, Washington and Louisiana. Community property
recognizes the equal contribution of both parties to
the marriage even though one or the other may earn more
income through employment. By agreement or action the
married couple can turn (transmute) separate property
into community property, including by commingling community
and separate funds in one account. Community property
is recognized based on fact or agreement of the parties,
rather than holding of title. The state courts have
wavered on what constitutes proof of community property,
including the issue of whether joint tenancy is evidence
of community property or not. Upon divorce community
property is divided equally without regard to fault.
Upon the death of one spouse all the community property
goes to the other except in Texas surviving children
get one half and in obvious sexual discrimination Nevada
and New Mexico allow the husband to will a half to someone
other than his wife.
Divorce:
A petition for divorce
(or "dissolution") must be filed and decided in court.
However, all states have "no-fault divorce" laws that
allow couples to split on the basis of irreconcilable
differences without going to trial and without the requirement
of establishing fault. In fact, 15 states offer only
no-fault divorces, which means that a no-fault divorce
is the only option even when there has been substantial
wrongdoing.
There are a few legal
requirements that must be met to file for a divorce:
-
Residency: The spouse filing for the divorce must
have resided in the state for certain time (usually
at least 6 months prior to filing the action, and
at least 3 months in the county where the petition
will be filed).
-
Waiting Period: There is a waiting period that marks
the date the divorce becomes final and the parties
are free to remarry. This waiting period is anywhere
from as little as six weeks up to 12 months, depending
on your state's laws. The average is about 6 months
plus one day from the date the papers are filed
in court.
-
Legal Reasons: All states require a spouse to identify
a legal reason for requesting a divorce when filing
the divorce papers with the court. These reasons
given are referred to as the grounds for divorce.
- Jurisdictional Requirement:
A petition for divorce must be filed in the proper
court. The correct court will be located in the
county where either the wife or husband has resided
for at least 3 months prior to filing for divorce.
