Community property(property acquired during the marriage) is divided in a just and fair manner. That could mean 50/50 , 60/40 or whatever considering fault in the breakup of the marriage. Separate property acquired before the marriage can become community if there was an intent to transfer it into the community. The community has a right to be reimbursed for payments made to separate property during the marriage.The seperate estate has a right to be reimbursed by the community property also. Separate property is usually divided among the separate property holders 50/50.
