Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a community property state, all property acquired during a marriage is jointly owned by the spouses, unless it was acquired through inheritance or gift. This means that in the event of a divorce, the property will be split equally between the spouses unless there is a prenuptial agreement stating otherwise. Alimony can be awarded to either spouse, regardless of gender, based on factors such as income and length of the marriage. Custody arrangements for children will be determined based on the best interests of the child, and joint custody is a recognized option.
