Quoting mey0722: I think women get half of a man's assets in California. Tough state to go through a divorce!! |
In CA a man can get alimony as easily as a woman. In fact if one of the parties is not employed, and the other is, they are required to support the unemployed one. It is automatic.
CA is a community property state. Anything has to be split 50/50. That includes intellectual property. There are degrees though. Up to 5 years it is called a dissolution and there is less property split. At 10 years it's much more serious. Unless you are very careful, everything, even inherited assets become community property.
Both parties are liable for the others bills. It is really quite complicated. I'd seriously advise anyone contemplating getting married, or moving to CA, consider what they are getting into.
Even if you wed in a none community property state, or country, once you get to CA, it's community property.
