If you acquired a piece of property (such as your parents vacation home) in your name only before marriage, it might still be considered yours solely. However, it could become community property if your spouse has a docHub connection to the property, such as making repairs or helping to pay the taxes.
For long-term marriages (over 25 years), the court will usually try to put both parties in an equal financial position for either the remainder of their lives or until both parties retire. The idea is that after 25 years, the parties should be recognized as financially equal partners.
Courts usually award each spouse his or her separate property and divide community property 50/50. Consequently, if the house is entirely one spouses separate property, he or she almost always receives it unless the parties agree otherwise.
A court in Washington State will usually a) award each party his or her own separate property and b) divide the net value of the parties community property 50/50. This means the husband keeps what he brought to the marriage, the wife keeps what she brought, and the rest gets split between them equally.
Generally, separate property is: Anything you earned or owned (or a debt) from before you married or after you separated. Anything you buy with separate property or you earn from separate property. Gifts or inheritance (to one of you) even if it was given or inherited when you were married.
