Section § 2650

Explanation

This law allows a court, during the process of dividing shared assets between spouses, to also divide any separate property that they own together, like real estate or personal items, regardless of when or where it was acquired. The division of this separate property will follow the same rules and restrictions as the division of marital property.

In a proceeding for division of the community estate, the court has jurisdiction, at the request of either party, to divide the separate property interests of the parties in real and personal property, wherever situated and whenever acquired, held by the parties as joint tenants or tenants in common. The property shall be divided together with, and in accordance with the same procedure for and limitations on, division of community estate.
