@no.attorney.divorc: WHAT ASSETS MAY STAY SEPARATE IN A CALIFORNIA DIVORCE? Not every asset automatically gets divided in divorce. Some assets may qualify as separate property, including: PREMARITAL PROPERTY Assets, bank accounts, or real estate you owned before marriage, if they were kept separate. INHERITANCES Money, property, or valuables left specifically to you through a will or trust, whether received before or during the marriage. PERSONAL GIFTS Gifts given specifically to you by your spouse or another person, such as personal jewelry. PRENUPTIAL OR POSTNUPTIAL AGREEMENTS A valid agreement may establish that certain assets remain separate. CERTAIN PERSONAL INJURY AWARDS Some compensation for your own bodily injury or pain and suffering may remain separate. Other portions, such as compensation for lost wages, can be treated differently. CERTAIN TRUST ASSETS Assets held in a properly structured trust may have different property rights depending on the type of trust and your control over the assets. ⚠️ IMPORTANT: Separate property does not always stay separate. Commingling funds, using separate assets for community expenses, or changing ownership can create complicated property issues. Before assuming an asset is yours alone, understand how California property laws apply. CALIFORNIA ONLY Need help with your uncontested divorce paperwork?
