California is a community property State.
The legal presumption is that assets acquired and debts incurred from the date of marriage, up to the date of separation, are community assets and debts, and those will be divided equally in a divorce proceeding.
There are a few exceptions, such as a gift or inheritance given to one spouse.
Conversely, assets acquired and debts incurred prior to the date of marriage, or after the date of separation are presumed to be separate assets and debts.
There are cases where one spouse has made a contribution from their separate property to the community estate that requires reimbursement.
