More information is need to answer. If the properties were acquired during the marriage then they are community property and each spouse would have a one-half interest. Either spouse that used there own money from before marriage may have a right to have that deposit money reimbursement. If the properties were acquired before the marriage by one spouse, then they are the separate property of that spouse. In some situations, a community interest can accrue in a separate property, such as a re-model or a loan paydown with community funds.
