In California, there is no 50/50 split of marital property. When a married couple gets divorced, their community property and debts will be divided equitably. This means they will be divided fairly and equally.
At divorce, community property is generally divided equally between the spouses, while each spouse keeps his or her separate property. Equitable distribution. In all other states, assets and earnings accumulated during marriage are divided equitably (fairly), but not necessarily equally.
