Gifts and inheritances are considered separate property in California, even if you received them during the marriage.

That can change if the money is put into a joint account or spent on community debts that cannot be traced or accounted for.

Property you owned before your marriage is presumed to be your separate property in a California divorce.

That can change if community funds were used to improve it or pay it down.

Problems can also come up when separate funds were commingled and cannot be properly traced.

When making custody decisions, California courts look closely at each parent's involvement in the child's daily life.

Who helps with homework, takes the kids to doctor and dentist appointments, meets with teachers, and handles bedtime all matter.

A work schedule that keeps a parent from school drop-offs, pickups, or bedtime can greatly affect the outcome.

In a California divorce, community property covers far more than the family home.

It includes income earned during the marriage, retirement, bonuses, RSUs and stock options, businesses, bank accounts, vehicles, and personal property.

Debts taken on between the date of marriage and the date of separation also belong to both spouses.

California judges favor the parent who is willing to co-parent and share the child freely with the other parent.

A parent who does not cooperate or communicate risks seeing majority custody go to the parent who is willing to share.

Courts expect parents to work together and solve their own problems without involving the court.

Before you can file for divorce in California, at least one spouse must have lived in the state for six months.

You also need to have lived in the county where you file for at least three months.

Knowing these residency rules ahead of time helps you file in the right place.

California is a no-fault divorce state, so you do not need to prove wrongdoing to end your marriage.

The only grounds required are irreconcilable differences and a marriage that cannot be repaired.

Even if you do not want the divorce, it can still move forward if your spouse does.
