Divorce vs. Legal Separation

California is one of the states that allows the option of legal separation. Like divorce, you still make decisions regarding property division, child custody, and child and spousal support. However, as an alternative to divorce, legal separation differs in one crucial way: you remain married but live separately.

A couple may choose legal separation if they want to continue receiving medical benefits, which they only have access to if married. In other cases, for couples of certain religious backgrounds, it may go against their beliefs to get divorced.

California: A Community Property State

California is considered a community property state, so all assets and property acquired during the marriage are owned equally by both spouses. Also known as marital property, this includes assets, debts, property, and income. A couple cannot sell, transfer, or get rid of community property without the other spouse's permission, but can do what they wish with their half. Once the couple ends their marriage, any property acquired after will be considered separate property.

Community property may include but is not limited to the following:

  • Money
  • Debt
  • Property
  • Vehicles
  • Vacation home
  • Collectibles, art, antiques
