Almost everything that you and your partner acquired during the course of your marriage will be considered community property, though there are a few exceptions. Items that were acquired before the marriage began, gifts that were acquired during the marriage, and any items that were mutually agreed to belong to a single person will likely be considered private property. This distinction will be critical as you and your partner work through the process of dividing your assets.
