About Property Division in California

California is a community property state, meaning that any assets acquired during a marriage are considered “community property.” This property is subject to distribution between spouses in the event of a divorce or legal separation. However, this does not mean that all property will be distributed equally or evenly. The court will look to a number of factors to determine how to fairly distribute community property between spouses.
