Estimate marital property division between separate and community property.
Separate property is generally excluded from division and returned to its owner, so the divisible estate is the net total less those exclusions. Community property jurisdictions default to an equal split while equitable distribution jurisdictions allow variation. Separate property can lose its character if commingled with marital assets, which is frequently the most contested issue in a division.
Property Division
Marital estate = net assets − separate property; divided by the applicable share
